In response to numerous requests from participants, and to provide young creators with more time during the summer break to create and refine their entries, thereby further enhancing the quality and broadening the participation in the competition, the Organizing Committee has decided to extend the submission deadline for the Fifth "Silk Road" International Youth Photography and Short Video Competition from August 20, 2026, to September 10, 2026. 

All other competition rules, including entry requirements, submission guidelines, and the award structure, remain unchanged. 

We cordially invite young participants from around the world to submit their entries, capture the stories of the Silk Road through their lenses, and explore the world’s diverse civilizations from a youthful perspective.
