A photography competition for primary and secondary school students recently wrapped up in Shenzhen, and the winners were chosen for their images of the city’s wonderful moments, the city’s beautiful appearance and developments, and the happy life of citizens.

The “Reading — Beautiful Shenzhen 2020” Photography Competition was co-organized by the Shenzhen Reading Month Organizing Committee and the Shenzhen Children’s Library. It was one of the annual Reading Month activities and presented, through the camera’s lens, the remarkable achievements made by the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone over the past four decades.

The competition received nearly 1,000 works from 55 primary and secondary schools in the city, which were divided into primary, middle and high school groups. After expert evaluation, 15 first prizes, 24 second prizes and 32 third prizes were selected. Other awards included excellent prizes, organizational prizes and excellent tutoring prizes. With sophisticated composition and lighting, the works fully demonstrate the geography and ecology of Shenzhen, the natural environment and humanistic landscape, and highlight the city’s past 40 years’ achievements of reform and opening up.

The organizers plans to hold an exhibition of the winning works at the lobby of the Shenzhen Children’s Library later this month.
