Qiantang picture perfect

There were 20 winners in the inaugural Nongchao Cup Calligraphy Competition and the First Impression Qiantang Photography Contest, while another 40 contestants claimed photographic prizes.

Around 100 of those outstanding calligraphic works are now on display at the Qiantang River Museum until the end of the month, with more than 200 excellent photographs being showcased in Hangzhou Library until November 29.

This were 4,715 entries from professional and amateur calligraphers over the country, and around 10,000 photos have been submitted since the competition started in late May.

All entries had to be original works themed on the mother river. Qiantang River has always been considered as the cradle of silk, tea and porcelain cultures, as seen from the unearthed antiques that were lined along the water course.

The festival was held from June to November with 17 activities, including photography and calligraphy contests, a poetry festival and a cultural forum.
