Many have been waiting a long time for this. Time to cast your votes to decide who wins an iPhone 13 or a Huawei P50, among other high-tech prizes, in the highly-anticipated “A Decade of Nanjing” international photography competition. The fun begins now!
A total of 59 photographs from the hundreds submitted to the competition have been chosen as finalists by an 11-person preliminary-evaluation committee. These are grouped by photographer on the online voting platform which is accessed via the QR code below.
You may cast 10 votes for each of up to five photographers every day, with a maximum of 100 votes in total. You have until 8 May to cast your votes, providing for some fun in the May Day holiday. In the case that you are one of the finalists, get your friends, colleagues, teachers, students, sons, daughters, mums and dads to vote for you too!
While much of the voting platform is bilingual, the actual voting section is only in Chinese. Look for “投票” below each finalists’ photos to vote, while under that is “返回首页” to return to the home page. After casting each vote, a pop-up message reminds as to how many votes you have remaining that day.
So what’s up for grabs? As decided by the number of votes cast for each photographer, a total of 20 prizes comprising various gadgetry shall be awarded, as follows:
- 1st prize: Apple iPhone 13
- 2nd prize: Huawei P50 smartphone
- 3rd prize: Huawei MatePad 11
- 4th prize: Huawei Watch GT3
- 5th prize: Huawei Watch Fit
- 6th-20th prizes: Portable Power Banks
