We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we
received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can't give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.
The person who won the prize of the “Most Beautiful Nature” photography is fifteen- year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park. The park isn't far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it well.
The photo we liked best in the “Historic China” group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tiananmen Square, the largest public square in the world. It s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.
The best photo in “Music” category was taken by He Zhong who is fourteen years old. His photo of this year's best band Crazy Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.
A collection of photos called the “Many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual ’category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.
