Adults who want to join the Shanghai Calligraphers Association need to participate in the competition organized by the Shanghai Calligraphers Association and enter the exhibition twice before they can apply for membership. In addition, taking the adult calligraphy examination of Shanghai Calligraphers Association and obtaining the highest grade 9 certificate can also be used as an application qualification, which is equivalent to an exhibition.
If teenagers join, they will take part in the competition organized by Shanghai Book Association and enter the exhibition for three times. Like adults, getting a Grade 9 certificate can also be used as a condition for applying once. If you win the first prize in the competition, you can directly apply to join the Youth Calligraphy Committee of Shanghai Book Association.
