2025 Contest Winners

The Greater Nashville Chinese Association, the Nashville Chinese School, and API Tennessee coordinated the I’M INSPIRED — 2025 Asian & Pacific Islander Book Review Contest to help our community’s students learn more about the history, customs, achievements, and cultural contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders through reading. Through the event we hope to encourage inter-cultural dialogue and to nurture mutual understanding and respect.  All K-12 students in Middle Tennessee were eligible to participate.  Here are this year's winners.
