自2007年首度舉辦,吸引眾多攝影愛好者參與,新光三越文教基金會特將此一展覽規劃為年度性常態活動,鼓勵影像藝術愛好者持續創作和參與,讓台灣優秀的攝影作品能在具國際競演規模的舞台上發光發熱;更期望藉由百貨商場多元性的空間,將攝影藝術藉此平台得到更多元迴響及集結更多相關產業,增進攝影影像藝術的市場潛力,開闢台灣攝影影像藝術成為華人指標性的活動。

We have attracted many photography enthusiasts to participate since our inaugural event in 2007. Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Cultural and Educational Foundation established this exhibition as a regular annual event to encourage enthusiasts of photographic art to continue to create and participate; so that Taiwan’s outstanding photographic work may shine on the stages of international competition. We hope that the multi-functional space of the department store will enable photography to find new expression and draw participation from even more sectors, enhance the market potential of the photographic arts, and help develop Taiwan’s photographic arts into a significant gauge of Chinese activity.
