Each year CTEF organizes an art contest to raise awareness of the status of China's rural education, and encourage people to appreciate and contribute to the local community.

​

Our 14th annual event's theme is "BREAKTHROUGH". 

 

“Breakthrough” is an exploration of moments when the impossible becomes possible, when barriers—personal, societal, or creative—are shattered, and new horizons emerge. Whether it’s a burst of clarity in the midst of chaos, a triumph over adversity, or an innovative leap that redefines limits, Breakthrough seeks to highlight those transformative moments of progress and change.

 

What does a breakthrough mean to you? It could be a burst of personal growth, a bold new technique, or an untold story finally coming to light. We encourage you to think expansively—whether through abstraction, realism, or somewhere in between. Let your work challenge the boundaries of the familiar and the unknown.

 

Join us in celebrating the power of creativity to transcend limitations and inspire future possibilities!

 

Each year selected artworks will be presented in an art album.  Every participant will receive a digital art album. We will have an award ceremony to distribute awards, to show off the winning work,  and to share artists insights!

Art has no boundary, and neither does love.  A piece of art, a little appreciation, a little love, goes a long way.
