The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards is an annual competition for young writers in Hong Kong to flex their creative muscles in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
The competition is unique because it culminates in an official anthology, showcasing the most creative and imaginative literary talent in Hong Kong and China.
The 2011 competition will also include Beijing and Shanghai!
NEW! This year we have expanded the age group but instead of separating each division by age we have introduced a new system; please see the table below indicating which group each student will belong to this year.
