Entries have started coming in for our third annual Shanghai Mamas Photo Story Contest. We know some of you have taken an extended break, so we have also extended the contest submission date. Be sure to send in your amazing CNY photo stories by February 12, 2023. We’d love to see how everyone has been celebrating in our first year of TRAVELLING! Prizes for winners include some Shanghai Mamas limited edition swag, beauty set, Shanghai memorabilia and a JD gift card! 

Add the WeChat account below to submit entries and view submissions. You can write words to accompany your story, or just send along the photos to speak for themselves. 
 
A photo story is a series of images (between 3-9 photos) with a common theme that together tell a story. You could share any traditions that you have for celebrating at home, what you see around the city or in your travels, or some classic CNY moments. It’s a great chance to get out and explore all the magnificent traditions and festivities.
