The 2nd Beijing Internet Audiovisual Arts Conference, an annual event that highlights online works, concluded on Tuesday in the capital city.

Hosted by the Beijing Radio and Television Administration, the two-day event featured a variety of activities, including an opening ceremony, six themed forums, and three project solicitation events.

A total of 60 works, spanning eight categories, such as online drama and internet cinema, were unveiled in a lineup on Monday that showcased the most high-profile and anticipated online programs.

The list included the online variety show, Shine! The Grand Canal, which travels to 10 cities along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the oldest and longest man-made waterway in the world; and The Little Prince Takes You on a Tour of the Central Axis, a 30-episode online drama aimed to promote cultural exchanges between China and France.

The conference also announced the 15 nominees of the New Light Project, an honor that recognizes excellent online movies. After a total of 11 jurors give their points based on the script, production plan, and the major creators' speeches, the project will select 10 winners in the future.

The Beijing Radio and Television Administration launched a project to engage audiences in exploring Beijing through micro-short dramas. These dramas will focus on five main themes — Beijing's appearance, charm, creativity, trendiness, and fashion — to vividly interpret the city's historical and cultural heritage and unique lifestyle trends.

As Beijing is a hub of movie and TV drama production, the conference attracted representatives from six associations, five industrial parks, 14 streaming sites, and 82 production companies.
