A world view of rural life
The inaugural Quannongtai Cup invited photography and short films about farming, rural landscapes, daily life and traditions. The 2024 call aimed to give rural experience a wider audience and connected its awards programme with the Cyprus forum.
Call published 15 August 2024; submission deadline 30 September. The landscape image’s capture date and place are not specified.

The association and China Agriculture Cooperation Association opened the competition to work documenting rural production, living environments and customs. The historical call emphasised documentary integrity and responsibility for copyright and portrait rights.
The submission deadline was 30 September 2024, with awards planned for Cyprus in November. The landscape image accompanying the call is competition publicity, rather than a photograph of the awards ceremony. The archive now links that invitation with later artist and film features.
