What is the quality of calligraphy competition for children in Calligraphy Newspaper? Right or wrong

It was written on the spot anyway. I have participated twice, and there are many high-level players, mainly too many finalists. This year's competition is divided into three preliminary competitions, and the first prize is shortlisted for the national live broadcast competition, which may reduce the number of people. I heard that I don't want to enter the competition fee. I hope to have a chance to enter the national competition this year.
