From November 22 to 26, the 18th China Good Creative and National Digital Art Design Competition, also known as the China Creative Challenge, held its 72-hour timed competition at the Boxun Automotive Industrial Park in Xinyu, Jiangxi. This 72-hour timed competition served as a direct route to the national competition, conducted in a timed format where participating students had to complete the design tasks specified by the organizing committee within 72 hours, presenting a considerable challenge.
