The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards is an annual competition for young writers to showcase their talents and creativities in fiction, non-fiction, poetry and cover art. Since its inception in 2010, the competition has been a resounding success, with more than 400 innovative entries coming in from 64 participating schools across Hong Kong and China in 2011.

PPP Company Limited is delighted to organise this competition for the third year. The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards 2012, supported by a number of independent publishers and media companies, aims to encourage and recognise excellence in English writing among students of various age groups, diverse backgrounds and different learning abilities.

This year we have expanded the competition to include additional international schools from more cities across China.

All entries should be based on the theme for 2012, New Tales of the Yangtze River. Winners will be chosen in 15 categories, and one lucky student will be named The Hong Kong Young Writer of the Year.

The Hong Kong young writers are getting famous.  Please refer to the link below.
