TWELVE souvenirs featuring Shanghai landscape, culture, history and glamour with innovative design and local flavor won awards on Thursday after coming out tops in the city’s annual tourism souvenir competition.

They were selected from about 2,200 works by some 1,800 designers in this year’s competition themed “Shanghai angle.” The solicitation took three months.

“The winning entries reflect innovation, art appreciation and market potential, and are practical to use, while displaying different angles of Shanghai,” said Zhang Xinyi, a Chinese master of arts and craft and one of the judges of the competition, organized by the Shanghai Tourism Administration.
