Report on Entries for 2014 Cheng Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project “Fishing for a Better Environment”

After downloading all the files and going through the over one hundred emails I received on the last day for entries (January 18), I have compiled some data about the entries.  There were a total of 155 entries from artists in 47 different countries around the world.  (Some of the emails in my box at the end of January 18 were duplicates and other things not related to entries and that is why I thought there might be about 170 entries!)
經過策展人花了數日下載完所有藝術家的提案，並且一封封看過1/18徵件截止日湧進的上百封信件，終於有些統計數字可以向大家報告了。這次我們總共收到了來自47個國家，155位藝術家的提案。（有些1/18的信件是重複寄送的，還有些是和提案無關的信，所以之前策展人誤估為170件提案，特此更正！）

These countries had the most artists submitting a proposal:
14 from USA
14 from Italy
13 from Taiwan
13 from Germany
以下這些國家是提案件數最多的：
美國14件
義大利14件
台灣13件
德國13件

It was interesting that this year we also got entries from some countries that have not participated before.  For the first time, I believe, we had one artist from each of these countries: Haiti, Macedonia, Lithuania, Pakistan, Mongolia, Iraq, Georgia, Estonia, Egypt, and Armenia.
有趣的是，今年有些提案是來自未曾參與過的國家，如果沒記錯，今年我們首次有以下這些國家的藝術家來提案：海地、馬其頓、立陶宛、巴基斯坦、蒙古、伊拉克、喬志亞、愛沙尼亞、埃及和亞美尼亞。

This year we had more entries from African countries. We got entries from these African countries:  Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda.
今年我們有比較多的提案來自非洲的國家，包括：喀麥隆、埃及、迦納、肯亞、南非和烏干達。

This year there also seemed to be many artists applying as a team of two artists.  We had 6 applications from artist teams of two people.
今年似乎也有比較多的藝術家是二人一組來提案，我們總共收到6組的申請。

Many artists who entered were born in one country and now live in another.  I counted these as representing the country of their birth, but really sometimes it is difficult to tell what country’s culture they would represent in Cheng Long！
也有許多藝術家是出生在某一個國家，但現在住在另一個國家。策展人在計算時會以出生國為主，但有時實在很難說這位藝術家到成龍時會展現出哪一個國家的文化！

We will announce the selected artists on the Blog by 17 February. Please do keep your eye here!!
我們預計在2/17公告獲選藝術家名單。請大家持續鎖定我們的部落格!!
