Abstract The essential purposes for organizing and conducting various undergraduate chemistry contests are to develop students with well rounded lab skills and promote their motivations towards innovative thinking. Focusing on these objectives there are some significant reforms being carried out on Zhejiang Province Undergraduate College Chemistry Contest in recent years with the emphasis on assessing the participant's innovative and comprehensive capabilities. Such reforms have enhanced the contest with broader benefits and positive impacts. Taking the 11th Zhejiang Province Undergraduate College Chemistry Contest in 2019 as a case study, this paper provides an in-depth analysis on the various aspects of the contest, including the competition rules, the contest layouts, research topics selected, and the scoring guidelines. The issues observed in the contest are also investigated with recommendations for future improvement.
