Finals of the Turkish Language and Performing Arts Contest in the West Coast area were held in Center Theater, Long Beach, California. There were eight categories in the 2012 Turkish Language Olympiads. The categories are; singing, poetry recital, skit, folk dance and presentation for the non-native speakers, and poetry recital, reading comprehension, and general knowledge in the Turkish language and culture for the Turkish native speakers.
