The Speak Mandarin Campaign Family Talent Competition, previously known as Parent-Child Talent Competition, is a nationwide competition that provides immersive opportunities for parents to bond and have fun with their children, while learning and speaking Mandarin.

The competition was first launched in 2013 and this year marks its eighth edition. A new category for pre-school participants was launched in 2016, and the revised entry guidelines for the 2018 competition allowed participation by up to four family members per team. Since 2019, the competition is also open to grandparents to participate as part of a team.
