Photography contest

Winners of the 58th World Press Photo Contest were announced recently with six of them from China, including three from Zhejiang Province.

Chen Ronghui, a photojournalist for City News Express in Hangzhou, won a second prize in the Contemporary Issues category for his work titled 鈥淐hristmas Factory.鈥 He is the newspaper鈥檚 second photographer to receive a WPP award.

As the youngest WPP winner in China, Chen took the photo last December in a factory in Yiwu, Zhejiang. It showed a worker wearing a Santa hat in a color-spraying room with Christmas products in the background.

Lu Guang, who got a third prize in the Long-term Projects category this year, has now won three WWP prizes. The first was in 2005 and the second in 2011. His works all focus on pollution problems in China. Chu Yongzhi, also from Zhejiang, won a first prize with his photo 鈥淢oney Training for a Circus鈥 in the Nature category.

This year鈥檚 contest received 97,912 entries from 5,692 photographers in 131 countries and regions. A new category for long-term projects was welcomed by photographers, who provided 510 photo essays totaling 14,583 pictures.
