Changing Asia 2026

A free, international photography call themed "Moments of Connection: Smiles and Hands of the Asia-Pacific," organized by China Daily and the Asia News Network.

Open to photographers worldwide, Changing Asia 2026 invites one to ten images per submission taken from January 1, 2023 onward that explore Asia-Pacific connection, transformation, and diversity through people, communities, environments, and culture. There are no separate categories; all entries respond to the single theme across three broad directions: Asian transformations, Asian stories, and Asian diversity. Winning work leads to a physical exhibition on October 26, 2026 at the Shenzhen Research Institute of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, ahead of the 2026 APEC Meeting.
