In order to honor Chinese and non-Chinese individuals distinguished for their contributions to the international communication of Chinese culture, Huilin Foundation of Beijing Normal University has officially started the nominating process for the 3rd “Huilin Prize”, and is now open for nomination of candidates worldwide. “Huilin Prize” selects 2 winners from the candidates across the world each year and awards 300,000 CNY to each winner. In 2015, the Prize was given to Professor Torbjorn Loden from Stockholm University, Sweden and the Chinese artist, Mr. Han Meilin. The winners in 2016 are Professor Roger Ames from University of Hawaii, USA, and Professor Yue Daiyun from Beijing University.

“Huilin Prize” was launched and is run by Huang Huilin “Third Pole Culture” Foundation (“Huilin Foundation”), named after Professor Emeritus of Beijing Normal University, Dean of Academy for International Communication of Chinese Culture, and founder of the “Third Pole Culture” theory, Professor Huang Huilin. As a non-profit and non-governmental institution, the foundation’s aim is to promote Chinese culture’s international communication with “Third Pole Culture” as its theoretical basis, and to build a key platform integrating various cultural resources as well as a major engine pushing forward public programs, culture and education causes, and in doing so contribute to the great rejuvenation of Chinese culture.

The essential purpose of promoting Chinese culture’s international communication is to bring about independence and confidence for Chinese culture. In 2009, Professor Huang Huilin initiated the “Third Pole Culture” theory, with the aim to inherit and promote the great legacy of Chinese culture in accordance with the law of historical development and for the greater good of human civilization, and in view of the current needs of our time, to absorb and learn great achievements from other cultures to enrich and further develop Chinese culture, so that Chinese culture as the “Third Pole Culture”, together with European culture and American culture, as well as all other cultures in the world, can work together towards a harmonious and ideal human civilization.

Nomination begins with effect from release of this announcement, and the deadline is November 30, 2016.
