1. Joining the Calligraphy Association through competitions is a very common form of membership. For example, some local calligraphy associations will hold calligraphy competitions from time to time, which are explained in the competition notice. That is to say, only after you have won a certain level of awards can you be eligible to join the Calligraphy Association. I have to say that this is one of the practices of many people joining the Calligraphy Association. Of course, one more thing is that you have to pay the membership fee and send you a membership card.
Besides competition, there is another way to join the Calligraphy Association through introduction. For example, if you want to join the calligraphy association, you don't meet a competition in the calligraphy association and need an introduction from an acquaintance, or your teacher, friends or people in the association.
