Interactive zone: Share Asian arts and win a trip to China

Does Asian art catch your eye? Do you find yourself intrigued by Asian culture? Join us for the 14th Asia Arts Festival's "Just Share It" contest! The Ministry of Culture invites contestants from across the globe to participate in a photography and video contest centered on exploring the beauty of Asian arts and culture. Anyone with an interest in Asian culture and arts is invited to share Asia's beauty on social media sites to enter the contest. The contest will run about four months, with a deadline of Oct 10 for submissions. The top three winners will be able to attend the opening ceremony of the 14th Asia Arts Festival, and they will also receive a round-trip ticket to Quanzhou and an insider's tour of a city that has a rich history as the starting point of the Silk Road.
