The photograph’s displayed are some of the works of the First Asian Students Photography Exhibition. The theme of this years’ display is “Students-Nation-Nature”, organized by China Renmin University and Beijing Geely University, and hosted by Education Forum for Asia and China Youth Daily.
The Asian Students Photography Exhibition will be held in Beijing during
the 2006 Annual Conference of Education Forum for Asia. The Exhibition will be a unique platform to show the energetic, creative quality of Asian students who use their cameras to show the distinctive characteristics of their home countries, natures’ beauty through their creativity, and to record the most important world events that have happened in their eyes.
This Exhibition was initiated earlier in September 2006, with the theme “Students-Nation-Nature” and the slogan “Cheer for Youth, Blessings for Nation”. This exhibition has drawn the world’s attention to Asia’s great achievements as soon as it was initiated. By the 15th, October, 2006, the Organizing Committee have received close to 700 outstanding works from college students from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, South Korean, Mongolian, Japan, Vietnam, Nepal, Singapore, UAE (United Arab Emirates), 14 countries and regions in total. The Organizing Committee has allocated the first prize (One people), the second prize (Four people), the third prize (10 people), Excellent works Award (50 people) and Award for Participation (100 people).
Photographs focus on topics such as current affairs, people, customs and scenery. These photographs show beautiful natural scenery and their nations characteristics in special ways. They contain abundant connotation, a strong sense of time, various expressive moods, and strong vision images. They certainly show the outstanding quality of the Asian students.
Youth is the hope of nation’s future as well as the host of its destiny. The First Asian Students Photography Exhibition would like to take this opportunity to enhance mutual understanding and respect between cultures and regions in the Asia-Pacific region through photography.
