It wasn't long before the event officially started.
This final round was different from the previous preliminary and semifinal rounds. After taking their photos, the eleven contestants sent them via email to the organizers, without publishing them on the official website beforehand. The host, dressed in a black evening gown, greeted the attendees with a smile: "Welcome to the finals of this street photography contest. Next, we will display the photos of each contestant on the big screen in sequence, and invite them on stage to explain their shooting concepts. Once all explanations are complete, the audience here and the viewers in the live broadcast room will vote together, and the top three contestants with the most votes will be crowned as tonight's champions."
The lights on the stage flashed, weaving a dreamlike tapestry of light and shadow.
The first contestant stepped onto the stage, and his entry titled "Carp" appeared on the screen.
