Guided by the principles of professionalism, fairness and rigor, the competition selected more than 200 outstanding works through a process involving preliminary screening by the organizing committee, public voting and expert review. The winning entries received awards across 20 categories, including the Civilizational Integration Award, Cultural Bridge Award, Youth Narrative Award, AI Innovation Award and Local Documentary Award. Five organizations were also honored with the Outstanding Organization Award.
The award ceremony of the Eighth Belt and Road Initiative Short Video Competition, together with a symposium on "Belt and Road" Storytelling and International Communication for Chinese Enterprises Going Global, will be held on November 12–13, 2026, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
The event will bring together creators from China and abroad, as well as guests from various sectors, to celebrate this cross-cultural visual gathering and explore new approaches to international communication.

We look forward to seeing you in Hangzhou!
