南大港湿地位于中国河北省沧州市，是东亚—澳大利西亚候鸟迁徙通道上的重要节点，也是全球湿地生态系统中极具代表性的区域之一。这里孕育着丰富而多样的鸟类资源，也长期见证着自然生态系统的演化进程，演绎着人与自然关系的动态平衡。基于这一独特的生态背景，“南大港杯”国际自然影像周向全球摄影师发出邀请，以影像为媒介，讲述自然与生命的故事。

本届大赛设置“南大港湿地鸟类”“湿地风光”“动物与自然”三个竞赛单元，我们所期待的不仅是视觉层面的美感呈现，更重视作品如何通过真实的观察与表达，呈现人与自然之间的理解、共生与守护。影像是世界通用的语言，我们希望通过此次活动，为南大港打开与世界对话的窗口，吸引更多人关注生物多样性与湿地保护议题，守护我们共同的未来。

Located in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, China, the Nandagang Wetland is a critical node along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and one of the world’s most representative wetland ecosystems. It is not only a sanctuary for diverse avian species but also a witness to the evolution of natural ecosystems and the dynamic balance between humanity and nature. Against this unique ecological backdrop, the Nandagang International Photo Competition invites photographers and visual creators worldwide to chronicle the stories of nature and life through the lens.

This competition features three categories: "Nandagang Wetland Birds" "Global Wetland Landscapes" and "Wildlife & Nature". We seek more than just aesthetic beauty; we value works that reflect authentic observation and expression, revealing the understanding, coexistence, and stewardship between humans and the natural world. As Aaron Siskind once said, “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.” By fostering a global dialogue for Nandagang, we hope these captured moments will inspire broader awareness of biodiversity and wetland conservation, safeguarding our shared future.
