The gold medal winner of the "Life Taiwan" category is a photograph titled "Happy Little Angels", which depicts a group of aboriginal children with their faces painted and wearing traditional costumes. The "Technology Taiwan" category did not yield any gold or silver medal winner, but had three photographs tie for the bronze.
