The final of the 3rd Chongqing Mapping Competition came to a successful conclusion in Chongqing. The canvas for this edition was a custom-designed structure inspired by Chongqing’s stilted houses (Diaojiaolou). The competition attracted over 110 teams worldwide, with 26 top creative teams ultimately shortlisted for the final. Using buildings as their canvas and light as their language, the teams told stories of diverse cultures and demonstrated the infinite possibilities of digital art and urban space. The competition has not only built a communication platform for the global light art community, but also enhanced Chongqing`s influence as an international digital art destination.
