China Creative Challenges Contest covers fields including digital arts, digital design, digital creativity, digital media, and digital technology innovation. It is characterized by strong comprehensiveness, interdisciplinary nature, multi-major participation, and broad institutional participation. Focusing on innovative and creative practice, the competition provides a platform for university students and faculty to engage in professional practice, creative creation, and achievement exchange.

In contest, our university’s award-winning works cover a wide range of directions, including visual communication, digital ecological atlas, AI-generated works, digital-intelligent imaging, and IP design. The works not only explore innovative expression of traditional culture, intangible cultural heritage, and regional culture, but also actively investigate the integrated application of technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital media with creative design, demonstrating diverse creative characteristics.
