大赛花絮（一）来由
有人的地方就有華人。加拿大，多倫多也不例外。從1878年第一家華人登陸多倫多開店至今，經曆了131年，特別是1967年加拿大開始大批吸納亞 裔移民以後，華人就在多倫多這塊土地上生根、發芽，繼而如雨後春筍般茁壯成長。今天，大多地區已經有了約50萬華人居住。華人的居住環境也從最初簡陋的工 棚、木屋、唐人街的狹窄的小閣樓發展到了今天與當地人無異的各式condo、house，甚至富人區裏的豪宅裏也不乏華人的身影。我們真正在這裏安居又樂 業。在這個過程中，從事設計、建築、裝修和買賣的業內人士也都做出了自己不可磨滅的貢獻。正如大賽通告中所說，華人家居發展史就是一部形象生動的華人創業 發展史。
所以，本次大賽不隻是一次普通的攝影比賽，或是地產界的家居展覽，而是多倫多整個華人社區的一次文化藝術盛會。據此，可以回顧多倫多華人131年來的創業發展史，了解多倫多房地產界的發展現狀，並學習家居裝飾的基本知識。
因此，我們作為比賽的舉辦方，首先強強聯合。共同協辦的也都是相關行業和領域的重量級單位。比如加拿大售房前室內裝飾協會（CSP），著名設計裝修公司，中高檔家具名店，地產公司及其銷售精英，相關商會，相關同鄉會，各大中文媒體等等。
最後，我們還籌備了盛大的頒獎晚宴。參加者除上述各方外，還將誠邀著名旅加華人藝術家，地區省市議員，及中國駐多倫多總領事館領事，和我們共同見證這一曆史時刻。
讓我們一起攜手，共獻愛心。從自己的小家開始，共建我們華人社區的美好大家園。

First Annual Chinese Community ZOE Cup Photography Contest
for Better Homes and Living, Toronto, 2010
Our story:
Ever since the very first family of Chinese immigrants stepped onto this great land of Toronto
about 131 years ago in 1878, the steady improvements of our living conditions mirror that of
many other immigrant communities. It all started with simple make-shift shacks and wooden
cottages, later small and crowded apartments in Chinatown, and enter today’s modern
communities composed of condos, houses, and even mansions, signaling Chinese
communities flourish here in our beloved Toronto. In many ways, this steady ascent of our
lives during the last century reflects how our community has prospered along with making
ever greater contribution to the Canadian society at large.
It is said that when you have a home, you have a place to settle down and prosper. In our time,
our homes no longer just provide shelter against the harsh winters here, but they reflect our
pursuit of happiness in building better communities. In the eyes of interior designers, the
unique individual expressions of beauty all begin with the love of our homes.
In recognizing this pursuit and in commemorating the official acceptance of the Chinese
immigrants into Canada 30 years ago, we** are sponsoring the very First Annual Chinese
Community ZOE Cup Photography Contest for Better Homes and Living. We hope this
contest will bring the Toronto Chinese communities closer as it provides a great opportunity to
showcase and to celebrate our culture extending beyond the physical objects captured on
camera. Our goal is to remember our past journeys into this great nation and to project the
bright future for us to actively participate in building better communities here in Toronto.
You are invited to join us:
Why wait? It is the perfect time to pick up your trusty camera to forever capture that perfect
moment to show the world your homes and styles! There is no contest entrance fee, and even
better, if we love your work, you will get an award for it, too!
