After careful selection by the members of the exhibition art committee, more than 10,000 photos were chosen for exhibition. By employing various artistic techniques and unique perspectives, the photographers at home and abroad showed us colorful ethnic cultures and glorious natural attractions in different countries and regions. Their photos have enhanced people’s awareness of caring more about and protecting the cultural and natural diversity as well as our beautiful world.
What should be mentioned particularly is that the Second Colorful Guizhou·PhotoChina Original International Exhibition won great support from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This has made the number of sponsors of the event increase to five from four in the year before: Guizhou People’ Government, Information Office of State Council, National Tourism Administration and China Photographers Association. It is obvious that with our joint efforts, more and more organizations and departments are becoming concerned about and giving their support to the protection of cultural and natural diversity in the world; more and more people care about the beautiful world and do their best to protect it.
This exhibition is an important event of international photographic art. Based on careful and serious evaluation and selection, a group of awarded photographs were chosen out of the collected over 50,000 photos and sorted into 13 categories in 5 series: ethnic culture, natural scenery, wild animals, artistic originality and colorful Guizhou. The Collection of the Awarded Photos not only shows people vividly and artistically the social life, ethnic customs, historical sites and natural scenes in different countries and regions, but also opens up to people the unique charm of photographic art. In addition to the presentation of the participating photos in the exhibition, some specially invited photos on given themes were also exhibited. Excellent photos taken by well-known photographers and pictures agencies from home and abroad were grouped according to 51 themes, reflecting to the greatest extent the vision of the world, the special features of the nation, and various artistic styles.
During the exhibition, a series of lectures on photographing skills, talks with photography masters and forums on original photos were held based on the themes including exploring and practicing of photographic art and protecting cultural diversity. The organizing committee co-held the “International Forum on Original Culture: Value, Protection and Exploration” with the media such as Dushu, New Weekly, and Cultural Heritage. The present exhibition has stimulated the international exchange of views on the photographic art through different academic activities, and has carried out extensive and substantial discussions on a number of hot topics in the present photography circle.

As such the exhibition has provided the viewers with wonderful artistic enjoyment and strong visual impression and informed people all over the world of the vision and views on the importance of caring about and protecting the ethnic culture and natural diversity.
What is also worth mentioning is that during the present exhibition a song named Pai-pai-pai about photographers was composed and won great favor of photographers as well as photograph-lovers home and abroad. The MV, with its visual background made up from the photos taken by the outstanding photographers, demonstrated the immense charm of photographic art. The song became instantly popular through different kinds of media and the Internet. After being performed and broadcast at the prime time of the 2010 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, it was warmly accepted and appreciated by billions of audience all over the world who watched the live-coverage performance.
Through the joint efforts of all the people concerned, Colorful Guizhou·Photo China Original International Exhibition has created an international, high-skilled, and multi-level platform for photographic art. The exhibition has, on the one hand, promoted the protection of cultural and natural diversity in an active way and demonstrated various ethnic cultures, colorful ethnic life and beautiful natural sights in Guizhou and China. On the other hand, it has provided opportunities for artists in different countries and regions to exchange extensively and substantially their views on art and their photographing techniques, creating an international platform to promote the development of photography in the world. The exhibition organizing committee will, as ever, dedicate to providing photographers all over the world with better support and service.
Let us, by exhibiting the unique charm of photographic art, call on more people to be more concerned about the protection of cultural and natural diversity in the world. Let us, by sparing no effort, make the protection of ethnic culture and natural ecology the common target and efforts shared by each individual in the world.
