2008  / 2009 China World Heritage Photo Contest and Exhibition

The Canadian Foundation for Chinese Heritage Preservation (“The Foundation”) held its 5th Annual Photo Contest – the “China World Heritage Photo Contest & Exhibition” in December 2008.  Aside along with the main theme of China World Heritage Sites, we also included a Special Feature on "Beijing"  and “Chinatowns Around the World”.   The contest was open to all international photographers, professional or amateur. 

Exhibitions: 50 best photos were selected from over 300 entries, which came from all over the world including Canada, the United States, China, Hong Kong, Australia and other Asian countries.  Exhibitions of the selected entries were taken place in December 2008 to March 2009 at various venues in the Greater Toronto Area, including: Harbourfront Centre, Oriental Centre, Market Village and Bayview Village Shopping Centre. Thousands of viewers attended the exhibitions.  During the exhibitions, a number of viewers submitted ballots to vote for the photo they think was the best.  A draw was performed to pick the lucky winner of the People’s Choice Award.

Announcement of Winners: On March 9, notifications have been sent to the 11 winners.  They have been invited to receive the prizes at the Prize Presentation Ceremony at the Foundation Office.

The Photo Contest was well received by the general public.  We are so happy that the awareness in the community of the importance of preserving Chinese heritage has been increased by this event.
