However, HPA Work Team took advantages of the time and dedicated fully to editing the photo album entitledMemories of the Mankind VIII, which is presented to the Award Ceremony attendees in a final version. During the previous HPA award ceremonies, the photo album was completed in the eve of the award ceremony when the last round of evaluation was over.

Memories of the Mankind VIII is 240mm×335mm in size, the same with Memories of the Mankind VII. We wish to put more winning photos into this album to show the advantage of group photos in telling stories and documenting folklore traditions. This album has more than 200 pages, but we could only squeeze into winning photos of Documentary Awards and Nomination Awards. Winners of Performance Awards are listed in the back to challenge readers’ imagination on the wide ranges and coverage of HPA.
