In 2013, the Shanghai Citizen Culture Festival and the Shanghai Collection Association organized the first Citizen Collection Exhibition and selected one hundred citizen collectors in Shanghai. In order to showcase the ever-changing style of Shanghai style collection, the 2023 Shanghai Citizen Culture Festival launched the second Citizen Collection Competition. Unlike the first exhibition, this year's exhibition focuses on the development of the youth team of Shanghai style collection. On June 30th, the organizing committee of the second Shanghai Citizen Collection Exhibition officially released the exhibition activity plan and competition rules at the Shanghai Mass Art Museum. In terms of selection principles, the quota for large categories of collectibles, such as traditional and popular collections, is relatively tight, and some unique and rare "fashion collections" are appropriately relaxed to showcase the richness of Shanghai style collections. We call on young collectors to actively participate in the competition.

The collection of Shanghai style has a long history. After the reform and opening up, the folk collection in Shanghai quickly recovered. In June 1986, the first provincial-level legal person collection organization in contemporary China, the Shanghai Collection Association, was born. The second Shanghai Citizen Collection Exhibition is one of the important projects of the 2023 Shanghai Citizen Culture Festival. It is guided by the Shanghai Citizen Culture Festival Guidance Committee, organized by the Huangpu District Cultural and Tourism Bureau and the Shanghai Collection Association, and hosted by the Shanghai World Communication Center. The aim is to promote the concept of collection culture, showcase the level of young people in Shanghai's folk collection, and promote the development of Shanghai style collection culture. The exhibition will publicly solicit and select outstanding Shanghai style collections, and ultimately select 100 young collectors from the public, and report to the Shanghai Citizen Culture Festival Guidance Committee for record. The participating collections will be selected to participate in the Shanghai style collection boutique exhibition held at Shanghai Pudong History Museum, Minhang Museum, Jinshan Museum, Baoshan Folk Art Museum, Yunzhou Antique City, and other places.

The organizing committee emphasized at the press conference that the categories of collections are diverse, and compared to the value of the collections, this exhibition places more emphasis on the historical, cultural, and social values contained in the collections themselves, especially those that record the daily lives of the Shanghai people and the development and changes of the Shanghai city. Like collector Ma Jiqiu, who has collected over 6000 enamel cups and thousands of electric meters, he has cherished the memories of a generation's youth and engraved the development rings of a city. It is reported that in the second half of the year, young collectors from the Yangtze River Delta region will also participate in the Shanghai style collection exhibition, allowing the general public to see the charm and style of the new generation of "Shanghai style collection".
