Beijing Olympic committee starts to collect
children's smiles for Games The Organizing
Committee for the Beijing Olympic Games (BOCOG)
on Wednesday began the process of collecting
smiles of children across the world that will
be displayed at the opening and closing
ceremonies during the 2008 Games.
An applicant may submit up to five photos of
one child and is allowed to offer photos of
different children before April 30 next year,
said a BOCOG official in charge of the opening
and closing ceremonies. The photos must be
color with a resolution of no less than 5
million pixels. Children under the age of 10
are preferred.
The official said that BOCOG might make
changes to the photos without "damaging
the integrity of smiling faces", and
would decide whether and how to use the photos
in the opening and closing ceremonies,
broadcasting and Olympic Games' publications.
However, the official said BOCOG would not
disclose how the photos will be used in the
ceremonies to ensure the "novelty"
of the idea would be retained. Applicants
should fill in a form, which can be downloaded
from the official website for the Beijing
Olympic Games (www.beijing2008.cn),
before sending CDs containing the photos to
BOCOG'S "Smiling Faces Collection
Office".
Last month, Chinese film director Zhang Yimou,
who is masterminding the 2008 Olympic opening
and closing ceremonies, said he planned to
collect 10,000 children's smiles for the
opening ceremony.
"We will collect the smiles of children
of different regions, colors and races all
over the world," Zhang told Xinhua.
"We will display these smiles at the
opening ceremony, after our artistic
processing, to complement the theme of the
Games: One World, One Dream," he said.
