HANGZHOU, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2023 / On August 8, 2023, the Worldwide "Picturesque Zhejiang" Video Storytelling Contest was officially launched and will collect excellent contest entries from around the world. The contest was started with the purpose of deepening China's cultural exchanges and cooperation with other countries, helping to extend the regional content of picturesque Zhejiang and promoting the deep integration of culture, tourism, industry, education and business.

The contest is under the direction of the Zhejiang Province Department of Culture and Tourism and the Zhejiang Education Department; it is hosted by the Tourism College of Zhejiang, China, with assistance from the Zhejiang-Hong Kong Vocational Education Alliance. These groups want tourists to feel the buzz of Zhejiang, to experience Zhejiang culture and share the achievements in Zhejiang with international friends.

At present, the organizing committee is collecting short video entries from international friends who love Zhejiang culture and want to tell their stories about Zhejiang. Each video should last around 3 minutes and show the subject in a positive light; they can be made in any language and in any style. All entries shall fully depict "Picturesque Zhejiang" in the eyes of international friends and show a new picture of cultural development and integration in Zhejiang.

Videos can be submitted from August through October; there will be an award ceremony in November for winners. Experts in relevant fields as well as cultural celebrities will be invited to judge the entries. They will select 8 single awards, such as "Most Creative Video", "Most Eloquent Video" and "Best Writing", 10 "outstanding work" awards and several "best organizing" and "best instruction" awards based on the theme, creativity, international communication capabilities, etc.

After the award ceremony, the organizing committee will give prize winners the experience of "foreigners' visiting Zhejiang" so that they can deeply feel the picturesque natural scenery in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, be immersed in the Zhejiang culture and witness the folk wisdom and traditional craftsmanship. This will deeply integrate culture and tourism and help to improve the province brand itself as "Picturesque and Dynamic Zhejiang".

The contest is an opportunity for Zhejiang Province to create a network of diverse international resources and to establish a community of international friends who can tell "Zhejiang Stories". By hosting a cultural salon, a local experiences activity, internet celebrity gatherings, and other activities, Zhejiang Province can increase collaboration at home and abroad, improve international exchanges and mutual learning, and share resources from superior platforms at home and abroad.
