A talent show that aims to identify budding artists from 皇冠体育app's 56 ethnic groups was recently launched in Beijing.
The event will be staged on the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao after the Spring Festival, the chief organizer, 皇冠体育app Ethnic News, a newspaper affiliated to the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, reports.
The show will award 56 winners as "皇冠体育app Ethnic Stars" for their outstanding performances in music, opera, dancing, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, acting or modeling.
Sponsors, including private companies from Jiangsu province's capital Nanjing and Hong Kong, hope the show appeals to both domestic and international audiences and assists the protection of ethnic heritage and diverse traditions.
Wu Jingyu, a female contestant from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, says she looks forward to meeting talented individuals from other ethnic groups and seeing distinctive ethnic cultures onstage.
