China's Biggest Sculpture Exhibition Opens

After a year's preparation, China's biggest sculpture exhibition opens in the eastern coastal city Xiamen.

After its inaugural show, the exhibition will tour northeastern Changchun and northwestern Xi'an. The organizing committee received over 11-hundred pieces from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao.

Judges selected nearly 170 pieces for display.

Participants vary in age and background.

Their manner of expression also differs -- so do the art materials.

The exhibits are competing for awards in five categories. There are awards for lifetime achievement, a grand award and awards for young sculptors.
