The Global SinoPhoto Awards aim to strengthen the international understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture and heritage around the world, and to celebrate its visual representation through photography. In this, the award’s inaugural year, we are inviting all photographers, regardless of age, race or location, to show us how they have engaged with and photographed Chinese culture, and what it means to them.
Since the Chinese invented the compass more than 2000 years ago, the Chinese people have travelled and traded widely. Wherever in the world the Chinese people settle, they retain an innate sense of family, tradition and community. But what does the world understand about this community beyond Chinese food, tourists, economic stats and news reports?
With recent events, including the pandemic, the issues of diversity and ethnicity have been heightened in discussions around the world. We are seeing communities worldwide debate and discuss their own race, ethnicity, heritage, and their future, and the Chinese community is no different. Here we can have a voice sharing what is positive. Photography can help understanding and expression – the visual language is universal; a photograph can speak 1000 words.
《华人镜界》国际摄影大奖赛的宗旨在于通过无国界，无语言障碍的摄影作品向世界展现各国华人的生存形态及其特有的民族个性；增进国际社会对华人及其文化的了解；与世人共同探讨华人与全人类相通的生活理念：对生活，对家庭和对我们生存环境的热爱与关注。大奖赛诚邀所有摄影人的参与，不分年龄、背景、国籍和种族。
精深博大的华夏文明漂洋过海，将美味养身的中国茶菜遍及各国，还有那越来越热的“普通话”，这一切皆因离乡背井闯荡天下的华人经年来的播散与传扬。他们虽然分布在世界各个角落，但其祖籍家谱均同源于中国，他们从未谋面的同族远亲仍在故土孕育着未来…… 华人是个情筑的民族——亲情，乡情，友情，爱情，心情，感情，都融在华人的生命根髓中，可是，与华人共存的世界又对他们了解多少？
天灾需要人类共同的抗争，人祸需要人类文明去化解。分担国际社会和平的责任，分享各种族的文化特性，寻求各民族文化间的理解和互助，也是海外华人的信念和夙求。“一张照片胜过千言万语”，以无国界，无语言障碍的摄影作品，来表述华人自古至今在沉默中的诉说与呼唤。这，便是此次《华人镜界》国际摄影大奖赛的渊源。

Images should be saved as jpegs at the highest quality available, with a colour profile attached. Either the RGB or sRGB colour profiles are recommended. Digital scans from film are also eligible providing they meet these technical guidelines.
照片应保存为最高质量的JPEG格式，并附上颜色配置文件。建议使用RGB或sRGB颜色配置文件。只要符合这些技术指南要求，也可以使用底片的数字扫描件。
Whilst no image sizes will be rejected at upload, winning images will be required to be printed, and so must be of sufficient quality to allow this. It is therefore advised that images measure a minimum of 1,500 pixels on the shortest side after any cropping. Where images submitted are smaller than this, it will be assumed that this is the largest image size available to the photographer and may affect that image’s chances of winning. The submission of larger file sizes is encouraged if available. There are Photoshop and other image software tutorials online that show you how to best resize an image.
虽然您可以上传任何尺寸的照片，但获奖的照片需要打印出来，因此照片的质量需满足打印要求。因而，建议裁剪后的照片最短边不低于1500像素。如果提交的照片尺寸小于此，则会被认为这是摄影师可有的最大照片尺寸，可能会影响该照片的获胜几率。如果可以的话，建议提交尺寸较大的照片。关于如何将照片调整至最佳尺寸，请参考Photoshop和其它在线图像软件教程。
Manipulation of images using software or other techniques in the Global SinoPhoto Awards, must not be excessive and all imagery must be the exclusive work of the submitting photographer and must not include any element that is the copyright of another.
You must not change the fundamental integrity of the image. All images must be authentic and not fake
不得过度使用软件或其他技术处理参赛照片，所有照片必须是参赛摄影师的专有作品，不得包含任何属于他人版权的元素。
您不得更改图像的基本完整性。所有图片必须是真正照片，不能伪造。
Excessive sharpening, noise reduction and colour saturation techniques should be avoided. We appreciate that entrants will attempt to prepare their entries to optimise appearance and appeal on screen, and this may include these techniques. Excessive use of any or all of them can result in an entry that will be unsuitable for printed media and therefore become invalid as a result.
应避免过度使用锐化、降噪和色彩饱和度技术。我们理解参赛者为了努力让作品达到最佳视觉效果，可能会应用到这些技术，但是过度使用某个或全部技术都会导致参赛作品无法打印成片，致使无法参与评选。
We strongly encourage photographers to include a description about their work during the upload process. For example: In the Architecture & Heritage category: the name of the building, the style or date, the location and the architect who designed the building. This is a great way to tell a story or other interesting facts about your image that will be of strong interest to the judges. The judges and the crowd will be able to read this while rating to give them insight into how you came about the shot.
我们强烈建议各位摄影师在上传作品时添加一段对作品的描述性文字。例如：文化遗产篇里的作品可以加上：建筑名称、风格或日期、位置和建筑设计师。这些描述可以更好地讲述作品的故事或其它相关有趣的内容，使评委产生强烈兴趣。评委和观众在点评参赛作品时会读到这些描述，从而了解照片拍摄历程。
No, please don’t submit images to the awards that have watermarks. This will impact their likelihood of being selected by the judging panel.
不可以，请不要提交带有水印标记的图片，否则可能会影响到被评审团选中的几率。
You’re encouraged to include the following information in the IPTC metadata fields of the image file/s, which will protect yourself and your intellectual property. You can do this by opening your image in Photoshop and clicking on 'file info' to enter essential information.
建议您在照片文件的IPTC元数据字段中包含以下信息，这将保护您自己和您的知识产权。您可以在Photoshop中打开您的照片，然后点击“文件信息”输入基本信息。
Please complete the following IPTC metadata fields in each of your entries:
请在每个参赛作品中填写以下IPTC元数据字段：
In the Description field, the name of the category, a full description of your image and, depending on the category, the location i.e. town/ country, event - eg: sister’s wedding, meeting at Toronto airport
