It has been 17 years since the Yunlin County Government launched the Yunlin International Puppet Show Festival in 1999. In addition to various exciting programs, this year's International Puppet Show Festival also held a number of competitions, including the Golden Palm Award and the Youth Competition. In various competitions and performances, such as the Cart Fighting, Little Golden Palm, and Cosplay competitions, the wonderful skills of puppetry teams from all over Taiwan are showcased, providing a stage for puppetry artists of all ages to perform. This year, the Yunlin County Government will also specially expand the awards ceremony at 1 pm on October 13 (Sunday) in the performance hall of the Cultural Department. It will return the glory to the artists who perform wonderful performances and let more outstanding artists be seen.
Yunlin County Magistrate Zhang Lishan said that the puppet show is not only a cultural asset of Yunlin, but also an important national treasure for Taiwan’s cultural heritage. This year's 13th Puppetry Golden Palm Awards gathers outstanding artists from all over Taiwan. It is the Oscar Award in the puppet show industry, and it is also an important award for puppet show artists across Taiwan to compete for. The puppet show includes superb oral dialogue, visual arts, puppetry techniques, backstage music, and important scriptwriting. In the end, it is the team's tacit understanding and skills that work together to create a wonderful drama. In addition, in order to encourage the cultural heritage of puppetry, this year we have specially added young people under the age of 40 to compete in the competition to cultivate more new generation talents, so that the art of holding the world in your hand can keep pace with the times and continue to ferment this most down-to-earth and most international soft power. !
Chen Bijun, director of the Yunlin County Cultural Department, said that the Golden Bell, Golden Melody, and Golden Horse are collectively known as the three golds, and the fourth gold that best represents the originality of Taiwan's performing arts - the "Golden Palm Award" is in Yunlin!
