An exhibition of photo entries for "Just Share It - Explore Asian Arts and Culture Contest" is underway at the 1916 Art Zone in Quanzhou, Fujian province, part of the ongoing 14th Asia Arts Festival.

The 50 photos on display were selected after a three-month contest which attracted over 700 entries and posts by more than 600 netizens from across 10 countries and regions including China, the US, Germany, Vietnam, India and South Korea. The exhibition showcases the diversity of Asian culture from different angles, capturing images of people, performances, landscapes and crafts through the lenses of photographers from around the world and bringing a unique atmosphere to the exhibition space at Quanzhou's 1916 Art Zone.

Marcel Schneider, a first time visitor to Quanzhou said what impressed him the most was that the exhibition shows various landscapes and portrayals of people from different perspectives. He also applauded the wide participation from worldwide Internet users.
