What a wonderful joy it is to work with all of you and to see your Cultural Exhibits on display!

We appreciate everyone’s patience – as I know several of you are curious about who won for Student’s Choice and Audience Choice.

Here are the results for Student’s Choice and Audience Choice for 2018:

Student’s Choice – Taiwanese

Audience Choice – Taiwanese

I would like to add a note that EVERY SINGLE EXHIBIT had votes submitted AND there were several exhibits that were close in count.

The theme for 2019 Festival of Nations is: “World Festivals and Celebrations”!

We are already excited and planning for 2019!

Again – THANK YOU to ALL OF YOU and your volunteers for another wonderful Festival of Nations.

We couldn’t do the Festival without your participation.

Please, as always, let us know if you have any feedback to provide, questions, inquiries and more.
