There are youngsters just like you

Who talk to the world through cameras

Starting in 2015, the 「Everyday」 group photography exhibition of young photographers from home and abroad aims at encouraging the youngsters to express, and discovering new strength for photography. The exhibitions held in 2015 and 2016, themed successively on 「Everyday · Reflection」 and 「Everyday · Encounter,」 solicited and displayed nearly 400 sets of feature photographic works from over 300 photographers of more than 20 countries and regions including China, the US, Japan, Korea, Israel, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and New Zealand. The exhibitions also introduced nearly 100 excellent domestic and foreign young photographers to the world. Over the past two years, featuring multimedia slideshows, the exhibitions toured the 11th Chinese Photo Festival, Photo Beijing, Dali International Film Club, Lishui International Photography Festival, and other important occasions alike.

We hope that the exhibition every year offers an opportunity for the photographers to know about the encounters between their photographic works and audiences from deep inside.

This year, the exhibition will be themed on 「Everyday · Images of Heart.」 Now we are calling for works with temperatures to feel, stories to tell, thoughts to convey and values to express from young photographers from home and abroad.
