JTIA Flower FEST 2026 Photo Contest: Capturing Spring at JTIA

Spring is in full bloom, and all of nature is awakening! Jao Tsung-I Academy has been brushed with a mountain of vibrant colors. Framed by blossoming trees and lush greenery, the interplay of dappled floral shadows and historic red bricks transforms the Academy into a vivid, spring-themed watercolor painting hidden within the bustling city.
We cordially invite you to participate in our Flower Festival Photography Competition. Amidst the red walls and floral trails, capture and preserve every beautiful moment at the Academy through your lens! Winners will be selected by our panel of judges based on theme relevance, creativity, expression, composition, atmosphere, aesthetic appeal, and technical skill.
