    "My Little Piece" — A Special Presentation by KESONG Photography Micro-Contest is a visual project jointly initiated by KESONG and Douyin, turning the camera toward the epic of the everyday. Unlike conventional photo contests that emphasise professional technique, equipment, or grand narratives, KESONG aims to redefine what a photography contest can mean — bringing the act of photographing back to life itself.

    This is not a competition about tools or skills, but an exercise in seeing. Through the lens, we respond to the small yet vivid moments of life — joy and fatigue, brilliance and ordinariness. Each small piece of light, each fragment of the everyday, deserves to be seen.

    The "Micro-Contest" features four thematic tracks: Portraits of Grown-ups, Glimpses of Landscape, Fragments of Life, and A Bit of Fun — open to everyone who loves photography and the art of living.

    "My Little Piece – A Special Presentation by KESONG Photography Micro-Contest" represents KESONG's interpretation of 'smallness' within the context of the Jimei × Arles International Photo Festival. Rooted in countless "little pieces" shared by our community, the exhibition invites more people to take part, to share their unique perspectives, and to let ordinary moments gather into a collective epic of daily life.
