For many young Asian Americans, the competition provided an opportunity to celebrate their cultural heritage while expressing their understanding of American society and their aspirations for its future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACAESUSA believes that young people should participate in this historic anniversary not only by learning about American history but also by sharing their perspectives through art, education, and community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
