We invite you to capture your learning, research, and daily activities on campus through the lens and share your wonderful moments at UCAS!
I. Competition Purpose
Use the camera to record the research enthusiasm and youthful vitality of UCAS students, and present a real, diverse, and uplifting campus life integrating education and research. The competition aims to capture the wonderful moments of faculty and students in study, research, culture, sports, and daily life on campus.
II. Competition Themes (Choose One)

We encourage the display of “the romance of researchers,” such as laboratories in the early morning, the joy of paper publication, and interactions with mentors.

Campus LifeRecord daily life at UCAS from a first-person perspective (e.g., discovering excellent courses, documenting the changing seasons, exploring the art of architectural photography, sharing food reviews, and expressing graduation insights). You may incorporate the formats of “unlocking instagrammable experience” to showcase impressive daily moments such as club activities, sports check-ins, food sharing, dormitory discussions, and graduation moments, highlighting the unique charm of the university.
3. Leisure ActivitiesCombine the unique geographical location and natural resources of your training unit to share leisure activities, public welfare & volunteer services, or creative lifestyle, such as outdoor outings, hiking and cycling, cultural performances, and sports events.
4. Creative ConceptUse special effects, animations, plot twists, and other creative forms to deconstruct campus life (e.g., “If the Mentor Were an AI”, “My Magical Campus”, “Traveling to UCAS in 2049”). Fully utilize your imagination and technical skills to create your own UCAS story.
