Since its inception in 2007, SKM PHOTO (Shin Kong Mitsukoshi International Photography Contest) has been dedicated to providing a stage for photography enthusiasts to fully display their talents and promote photographic art, attracting more than 100,000 visitors each year. The active participation by photography enthusiasts has won praise from all walks of life. Besides holding international competitions and cultivating new talented photographers every year, SKM PHOTO has also added an exhibition and exchange platform by inviting Taiwanese photographers with unique personal styles to join the touring exhibitions. The idea is to establish a perfect collection system for photographic works, thereby adding comprehensiveness and diversity in the development of Taiwan’s photographic image art. It is also expected that the gathering of related industries through the use of the diverse spaces of department stores will allow photographic art to be make a resounding impression.
Other purposes are to enhance the market potential, open up Taiwan’s photographic art to become an indicator activity for the Chinese people, and jointly witness the flourishing development of Taiwan’s photographic image art.
