*<font color=red>'''Three commas''' <font color=black>are required: the first two are boundaries for a ''nested'' phrase ("also known as hang Liangying"); the third is an "equative" comma, used instead of "which is".
*<font color=dimgray>'''"Placed"''' <font color=black>can't refer to what she does, but what is done to her; the passive voice must be used (<font color=dimgray>"was placed"<font color=black>).
*<font color=purple>'''A hyphen''' <font color=black>is required for <font color=purple>"all-female"<font color=black>, which is a double adjective. This is the case even in AmEng.
*<font color=darkgreen>'''An upper-case "C"''' <font color=black>is required, for <font color=darkgreen>"Contest"<font color=black>, since it's part of the title of the competition; this can be confirmed at the linked article.
