Art competition puts future of humanity on canvas
An online international comic and illustration exhibition was held recently to showcase the profound impact of technology on daily life while building bridges among diverse cultures.
The event, the 2025 Community of Shared Future for Humanity International Comic and Illustration Exhibition, was a collaborative effort by China Daily and the Bank of China in Beijing. Artists from 58 countries and regions submitted nearly 3,100 pieces for the exhibition, with over 1,200 entries coming from abroad. The exhibition provided a multilingual platform to ensure inclusivity and foster global dialogue. The artworks on display were a testament to human creativity and insight.
This year, the exhibition introduced the Youth Excellence Award. Over 600 submissions came from young artists, bursting with imagination and innocence. Although their techniques were less polished than those of their adult counterparts, their work was rich in creativity and hope.
A few award-winning works are displayed on this page.
