The winners were unveiled at the ceremony, with Ju Ting and Ou Ming as the real stand outs. The two artists are postgraduates from CAFA and specialize in printmaking and sculpting.

"As there are many trees near my studio, and I observed the tree branches changing during the different seasons. Then I thought I could make that into a sculpture and free my imagination," Ou Ming, one of the winners said about one of his pieces.

Another winner, Ju Ting, revealed that her work took her more than one year to finish, and she was surprised to receive an award for it. She is an art lover through and through, and when she was as a little girl she was determined to go to CAFA.
