Olympic　Organizing　Committee　solicits　photos　of　smiling　chil

 　Chinanews,　Beijing,　Sept.　6　–　The　Beijing　Olympic　Organizing　Committee　announced　on　Wednesday　that　starting　from　that　day,　it　would　solicit　photos　of　children　with　smiling　faces　on　a　global　range,　to　be　used　during　the　Olympic　opening　and　closing　ceremonies.　
　In　order　to　encourage　the　public　to　participate　actively　in　the　Olympic　Games,　the　Beijing　Olympic　Organizing　Committee　has　decided　to　solicit　photos　of　children's　smiling　faces　as　part　of　the　creative　ideas　for　the　opening　and　closing　ceremonies.　In　order　to　guarantee　the　idea's　originality　and　make　sure　that　it　can　be　presented　at　the　Olympic　opening　and　closing　ceremonies　with　a　fresh　look,　the　Beijing　Olympic　Organizing　Committee　will　not　disclose　how　the　photos　will　be　displayed　for　the　time　being,　but　will　choose　an　appropriate　time　to　announce　its　plan　about　how　it　will　use　these　photos.　
　The　photos　that　are　needed　will　be　the　front　view　of　the　children's　face,　either　smiling　or　laughing.　The　photos　should　not　be　displayed　or　serve　any　commercial　purpose　before　the　opening　and　closing　ceremonies.　Although　there　is　no　limit　set　for　the　age　of　the　children　that　present　their　photos,　children　under　the　age　of　10　are　preferable.　There　is　no　requirement　for　the　background　of　the　photo,　either.　Parents　can　present　several　different　versions　of　their　children's　photos;　however,　they　should　present　no　more　than　five　photos　for　one　child.　
　Without　damaging　the　integrity　of　the　smiling　faces,　the　Beijing　Organizing　Committee　might　make　some　slight　changes　to　the　photos　and　their　backgrounds　so　that　they　will　be　well　suited　for　the　opening　and　closing　ceremonies.　After　the　adaptation　is　made,　the　Beijing　Organizing　Committee　will　decide　which　of　these　photos　will　be　used　and　how　they　will　be　used,　said　a　person　working　at　the　Beijing　Olympic　Organizing　Committee　Opening　and　Closing　Ceremonies.
