The list of winners is as follows:

First Place: Yi-Chia Yeh (Criminology, Freshman)    
"You know, on the sixth floor, especially facing the commute route, the composition is dynamic with the descending stairs. Sometimes I like to look at Yunlin on the left side, sometimes the school buildings in front, and other times the mountains on the right side. When seeing everyone busy while I have no classes at the same time, I feel more refreshed than any moment in my life."

Second Place: Kai-Hsuan Lin (Graduate Institute of Information Management)
"A snapshot of time of young and elderly people exercising together, showcasing that different generations both care about their health and the connection of generations linked by health. Regardless of age, exercise does bring us together, helping us pursue a stronger body and a more positive life attitude. I believe youth and wisdom will converge through sweat, adding more brilliance to life!"

Honorable Mention: Li-Chi Liu (Biomedical Sciences, Freshman)
"Chung Cheng Avenue at night is arguably the most brightly lit part of campus. Many students pass by after class or club activities. Compared to the rush of daytime, the night has a leisurely atmosphere. When shooting, I deliberately aligned the red line on the road with the bottom left of the photo to create a sense of road extension, symbolizing a long but relaxing journey."

Honorable Mention: Kai-Chieh Liang (Graduate Institute of Electrical Engineering)
"As a freshman standing on this green lawn, the magnificent library building unfolds before me, symbolizing the academic journey we are about to embark on. The library is not only a place for learning and research but also a serene refuge where we can immerse ourselves in books. Whether preparing for final exams or completing research papers, this place will be the center for gaining knowledge and contemplating the future. The library in the distance seems to beckon us, reminding us of the power of knowledge and the limitless possibilities of learning."

Honorable Mention: Po-Ching Wang (Biomedical Sciences, Freshman)
"On the path that I walk daily for class one day, I watched sunlight filtering through the trees and unexpectedly saw two elderly people smiling and chatting, revealing the humanistic atmosphere and natural beauty of Chung Cheng's campus."

Each work presented a different aspect of freshman life at National Chung Cheng University (Honorable Mentions are listed in submission order).
