After successfully hosting the 2008 World Chinese Photography Competition, NTDTV has begun accepting entries for the 2009 World Chinese Photography Competition. The competition contains three categories: news and world events, society and humanity, and nature and landscapes.
The 2008 World Chinese Photography Competition attracted over 10,000 entries from 28 countries. The top 100 or so photos were exhibited in December at the Ukrainian Institute of America on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Mr. Dai Bing, Vice Chairman of the 2008 Competition Judging Committee, talked about four principles used in judging the entries.
He said, “The most important is the theme. A great piece of art must have a good theme. Great photos should have a clear theme. Our competition wants artwork that shows a theme of morality and virtues.”
“The second most important aspect is technique. This includes composition, the use of light, and clarity of the photo. These are important in supporting the theme.”
