This is the first time that the foundation holds a competition. It does not start from a magnificent point of view, but from a general and broad point of view. We hope that it will be close to life and allow participants to have a deeper understanding of the spirit and auroa of China. It goes without saying that many traditional Chinese cultures, beauties, and arts are nurtured from details of life. The commemorative competition also commends Mr. Long Chinsan for his mission of promoting traditional Chinese culture.

As a pioneer in the field of photography, Mr. Long Chinsan experimented with composite pictures in the darkroom in the 1920s and 1930s, long before various photo synthesis technologies or photo shop became popular. And integrated the theory of Chinese painting into his photographic creation. His contribution to photography was not limited to his personal creative works. He has also made great contributions to the development of the photography community. He has founded several photographic societies and the Federation of Asian Photographic Art to promote exchanges and cooperation among artists, and was actively promoting photography knowledge to many photography enthusiasts.

This competition hopes to cover a wide range of young photographers regardless of country or region. Therefore, there is a recommendation committee to help encourage contestants. The jury committee are leaders from all walks of life, including art, film and television, society, criticism, education, and media.

It is hoped that the contestants, regardless of their depth of understanding of Chinese culture, will have a definite starting point for exploration.

Not to leave historical traces, but to record the current excitement. We promote this event with sentiment! We hope all the participants would gain new insights while engaging in this competition!
