Brief Introduction of China International Photojournalism Competition

In 2005, China International Photojournalism Competition (CHIPP), a new brand of international photojournalism competition, was born in Shenzhen, a new charming city in China.

Up to now, "Huasai" has gone through eight years of eventful autumn. The organization, reception, selection rules and selection results of "China Tournament" increasingly reflect the "world level and China characteristics", which has a wide and powerful influence in the world and greatly exceeds people's expectations.

The success of "China Competition" broke the monopoly of international news photography in the western world for the first time, built a new platform for world news photography exchange and cooperation in China and even the East, and created a new brand of international news photography.

The 9th "Huasai" will continue to hold high the banner of "peaceful development" and show people the hope of the world by relying on the beautiful zhejiang daily press group platform by the Xizi Lake. To show the world that socialist China's news concept is advanced and serves the people of China and the world.

"Hua Sai" is a milestone in China's news photography and a pioneer in China's journalism to show the world the true situation of China's news.

The selected issue of Huasai has become an important base for studying and discussing the similarities and differences between world news photography and China news photography. The results of the first "China Competition" show that many of China's outstanding works are world-class, and at the same time, it also compares the weakness of China's news photography. On the basis of the standard of "world-class, with China characteristics" embodied in the China Prize-winning works, China news photographers should establish a world-class news photography concept and evaluation system, improve the quality of news photography, build a world-class news photography team, speed up the pace of building world-class news photography, and make unique contributions to the construction of news photography culture in China and the world.

The success of "China Tournament" has increased our confidence and courage to continue to run the China Tournament well. With the concern and support of all parties, China Photojournalism Society will hold the China Competition for a long time every year and turn it into a world-famous international photojournalism competition as soon as possible. China's photojournalists have confidence, courage and ability to run the "China Competition" with great significance better and better, and make great contributions to the country, the nation and the world.
