The Contest

Know nothing or next to nothing about Falun Gong? Perfect! This poetry competition is for you!

The Friends of Falun Gong Poetry Competition was founded to give people an opportunity to learn about just the Chinese Communist Party’s horrendous treatment of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners. This is important because China is the world’s factory and, as the COVID-19 pandemic showed, the CCP’s increasing influence and power affects us all.

There is no submission fee.

  3. Express why citizens of the free world should support Falun Gong’s rights
