There is a Chinese website just about Wang Xizhi, run by Linyi

http://www.xizhi.cn/index.asp

They just held the 2nd calligraphy competition. I only learned about that after it ended. They have awarded the highest monetary prize for calligraphy competition - RMB80,000. The top three winners are 35-41 years old.

They are going to hold the calligraphy competition every year.

There is a lot of information about Wang Xizhi and Linyi at this site.
The loading of graphic is rather slow at this site, but it's worth the wait.
