Lian Zhang, Chairwoman of the U.S. Finals Organizing Committee of Global Star and President of the U.S. Guose Tianxiang Cultural and Arts Association, stated that the purpose of hosting this event is to promote traditional Chinese culture in the United States. She emphasized that the goal is to help qipao art gain recognition and appreciation within mainstream American society, and to encourage second- and third-generation Chinese Americans to learn about, understand, and love traditional Chinese culture.
According to Ms. Zhang, this year’s Global Star International Qipao Competition included both individual and group categories, featuring seven qipao performance teams and individual contestants, with a total of 136 participants. Contestants came from California, Texas, Washington, Maryland, and New York, ranging in age from 10 to 86 years old. Even two days before the competition, participants from other states continued to register enthusiastically—demonstrating the growing influence and appeal of the event.
Ms. Zhang further noted that the Global Star International Qipao Model Competition is the only professional, nationwide qipao modeling contest officially held in the United States. The Organizing Committee adheres to principles of fairness, impartiality, transparency, and professional standards, supported by a panel of highly qualified judges. She described it as a truly high-caliber competition that showcases the elegance and charm of qipao culture.
