Submission Specifications for Participants​

  • Participants may create diverse styles of coloring works centered on the Mid-Autumn Festival theme, including flat color filling, gradient coloring, detailed decorative coloring, texture rendering, and original themed creative coloring. Entries are acceptable as individual creations or group collaborative works. All contestants must use the official exclusive coloring papers provided by the organizing association for creation. Contestants can apply standard visual composition, professional color matching schemes and diverse artistic expression techniques to demonstrate their personal artistic features and unique creative concepts.

  • All works should demonstrate solid artistic foundation and coloring accomplishment, including smooth color blending, reasonable tonal layout, profound thematic conception, coherent visual logic and distinct aesthetic expression. Traditional Mid-Autumn Festival-style coloring works should adhere to orthodox aesthetic norms and traditional cultural connotations, while original creative coloring pieces are encouraged to integrate contemporary perspectives and modern artistic ideas. Participants may create works with unrestricted creative styles and expressive techniques, as long as the entries conform to positive cultural orientation and aesthetic values of the competition. Standard template creation formats on official coloring papers are allowed, and basic artistic polishing and auxiliary modification methods are permitted to optimize the visual presentation of coloring works.

  • Participants must submit complete and standard final versions of their coloring works with intact content, clear visual context and full artistic expression finished on the official designated coloring papers. A short attachment including the participant’s name, age and brief creative introduction is required for entry. All submitted works must be presented in standard complete formats with accurate color presentation and neat layout for professional official judging.

  • Works may be submitted via website upload, WhatsApp, or Email (only one method required), and must be named in accordance with competition rules.
