"When Koala Meets Panda" China-Australia Short Video Contest is back again. Initiated by the Consulate General of the PRC in Brisbane and organized by People's Daily Online Australia, this short video contest aims to enhance the connection between China and Australia, as well as deepen the mutual understanding and establish a cultural bond between people from these two countries.

This year, Australians and Chinese people are all welcome to create videos with the theme of “2021, When Koala Meets Panda”. 2021 will be the fifth year that "When koalas meet Pandas" has been held, and the second year that the contest has been organized during the pandemic periods. Participants are encouraged shoot the videos at home to reduce unnecessary travel, but you are welcome to use previous filmed video clips. Entries should be uploaded onto one of the participation social media platforms.

“Koala” represents Australian youths and Australian society while “Panda” symbolises China or any Chinese elements related. “Meet” means a personal perspective, through which we encourage participants to tell a story about their own understanding, their own experience or any story they heard about China or Australia.

The contest will officially start on September 1, 2021, and participants can start to upload their short videos via their social media platforms by November 30, 2021. Finalists will be selected by People's Daily Online Australia whilst the 4 individual awards will be selected by professional judges.

The 4 individual awards include Best Story Award, Best Presentation Award, Best Experience Award and Best Cooperation Award. According to the calculation of views on Chinese social media platforms, "Most Popular in China" Award will be selected from the 4 individual awards and the winner will receive a certificate, a trophy and a cash prize of 1,000 AUD.
