🧧 2026 Chinese New Year Doll Photography Event

Hey everyone,

it’s Faye here :waving_hand:

I’m really happy to finally say this:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: The 2026 Chinese New Year Doll Photography Event is officially open!

This is something we’ve been planning for a while, and honestly, I just want it to feel fun, creative, and meaningful — not stressful, not “professional contest only”.

If you enjoy doll photography, culture, outfits, or just telling stories with your doll,

this event is for you.

:link: Full event details & submission page:


:cherry_blossom: What’s this event about?

This is not a technical photography competition.

No fancy gear required. No pressure.

It’s a Chinese New Year themed event where:

  • Your doll wears Hanfu or Chinese-style outfits

  • You share a photo plus a short story or inspiration

  • Studio shots or phone shots are both totally fine

It’s more about:

:sparkles: culture

:sparkles: aesthetics

:sparkles: storytelling

:sparkles: vibes

Not about being sexy, explicit, or showing off equipment.


:pushpin: How to join (super simple)

Just post on the forum using this tag:

  • A few words about why you chose this outfit / story / idea

That’s it.

:warning: A few simple rules

Just keep things:

:check_mark: respectful

:check_mark: cultural

:check_mark: non-explicit

No nudity, no sexual posing, no NSFW titles.

All doll sizes are welcome as long as the content is safe.


:globe_showing_asia_australia: Why are we doing this?

Because I really believe dolls can be:

  • art

  • culture

  • storytelling

  • not just adult fantasy

Chinese New Year felt like the perfect moment to try something different together.


:sparkler: Final words

If this sounds interesting to you —

just grab an outfit, take a photo, write a few words, and post.

No pressure. No gatekeeping.

Let’s just have fun and celebrate culture together.

See you in the event threads :yellow_heart:
