An award ceremony in praise of excellent cultural products for children took place on Dec 7 in Beijing, which will be followed by a one-week exhibition of China picture books and an exhibition of award-winning items.
The third Youth China Excellent Children's Work selection activity was sponsored by the publicity department of Beijing's Haidian district, aiming to promote the creation of excellent cultural products for children.
This year's event attracted participation of cultural enterprises and creation teams from 21 provinces and cities across the country. It collected 691 children's products, consisting of 96 picture books, 197 songs, 69 puzzle applications, 115 cartoon products and 214 animations.
From all the entries eleven were selected for a gold prize, 21 for silver, and 102 for a nomination prize.
"The event boosts the spread of good cultural products that cultivate children's interests and Chinese traditional values," said a person in charge of the event. "More excellent cultural works for children can be more widely publicized in China through this event."
Aside from traditional picture books and animation, children now have easy access to digital content thanks to the development of the Internet.
Many digital content enterprises and IT companies are paying increasing attention to children and are coming up with products appropriate for them.
The Internet giant Tencent already has a special site (kid.qq.com) for children, where children of different ages can find diverse content for fun and for learning. Children can also display their imagination and creativity by writing stories on the platform and can even communicate with others through its interaction function.
