"Go hand in hand to facilitate the Gymnasiade."

As a native of Jinjiang, he always pays close attention to the developments in his hometown. Knowing the news of the recruitment, he set to make preparations without hesitation. It took him only a week to create three posters with distinctive features and unique style. "I sincerely look forward to the Gymnasiade, and I hope to join in it as a volunteer at that time," Zhuang said.
Those who participated in this competition include individuals and teams, professionals and amateurs, working personnel and students. The designers gave full play to their imagination and integrated the characteristics of Jinjiang and Minnan, the logo and slogan of Gymnasiade into their posters and cards, thus creating excellent works. Many Jinjiang youngsters also took part in it, expressing their anticipation for the sports event with each loving stroke.
"The creation with heart is pleasing to the eye." After viewing the designs, Chen Chaomiao, a member of the offline judges and vice dean of the School of Fine Arts and Design of Quanzhou Normal University, commented that the works displayed the participants' creativity, showed their understanding and love of Jinjiang, and expressed their expectations for the Gymnasiade.
