The rating of the Fourth Shenzhen Copyright Gold Award is intended to promote the development of the industrial chain of cultural creative and copyright. The organizing committee has rated a total of 23 awards, including “Copyrighted Works Gold Award”, the “Copyrighted Application Gold Award”, the “Copyrighted Protection Gold Award” and the “Special Contribution Award for Copyright Industry” in order to safeguard rights and interests of original works, inherit the original spirit and praise and encourage those outstanding representatives that have made eminent contributions in the copyright area. Besides, the event has rated the “Excellent Copyright Manager Award” and the “Special Contribution Award for Copyright Industry”. These awards are designed to highlight the importance of cultivating copyright application and protection professionals. In addition, they are intended to acknowledge and encourage those enterprises and persons that have long paid attention to copyright industry. The event has played a positive role in establishment of copyright protection, copyright-related social service system and other aspects, and made an outstanding contribution to promoting the prosperity and development of the copyright industry.

   The event officially kicked off on October 20, 2015. The organizing committee delivered an announcement to all members and all circles of the society with the mobile application of Shenzhen Copyright Society, solicited bidding information and materials through the official website, email box, WeChat public platform and Moments and worked together with the Design Federation, the Gift Industry Association, the Creative Industry Association and other industry organizations for joint recommendation. Finally, the organizing committee set up a review panel consisting of famous scholars, industry experts and professional representatives to review the works bidding for the awards in the principle of independence, equality and objectivity, which has made the recent Shenzhen Copyright Gold Award more influential.

    Ever since the outset, the rating of the Shenzhen Copyright Gold Award has grown into a brand of the Shenzhen copyright industry and played an important guiding role in promoting the industry development. It has set an advanced example in different links of copyright creation, application, protection and management, praised and communicated these good examples and inspired enterprises to forge a long-acting mechanism for copyright creation and application. As an innovation-driven city, Shenzhen wouldn’t go without encouraging innovation and protecting innovation results, without the government’s attention to and support for the copyright industry, and without people engaged in the copyright industry who have done a better job in respective area and added new splendor to Shenzhen’s copyright industry. We are deeply convinced that as long as all circles of the society pay attention to copyright and copyright protection, the copyright industry will definitely play an important role in enhancing Shenzhen’s development of an innovative culture.
