Does your child have a creative and artistic ability that should be showcased for all

to see? The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards 2015 (HKYWA) offers young

people the opportunity to compete in a regional creative competition to win a variety

of prizes including Bookazine gift bags, Faber-Castell stationery and the chance to be

published in the International New York Times!

Primary and Secondary school students from Hong Kong, China, and Macau are

invited to use their creativity and imagination to engage in this year’s topic New Tales

of the Pearl River Delta. Original pieces of Fiction, Poetry, Non-Fiction, Cover Art,

Digital Storytelling and Digital Publishing will be accepted and assessed by our panel

of judges during this academic year. 100 top entries will be published in an anthology

and recognised at our awards ceremony in April 2015.

Our partnership with the Hong Kong Education Bureau has allowed us to invite every

school in Hong Kong. So please get in touch with your English, Film Studies or Media

teacher to make sure your school can be involved this year.

The Pearl River Delta, located in southern China, is one of the country’s fastest

developing and dynamic regions. A melting pot of foreign influence and traditional

Chinese culture, the Pearl River Delta is rich in history, allied by a complex fusion of

European and Chinese philosophies, architecture, and cuisine. Where east meets west,

these two ports represent a small but important part of the urban region.

This year we encourage students to explore the history and culture that surrounds the

cities of the Pearl River Delta in order to produce their new and exciting tales. Judges

will recognise entries on how the Pearl River Delta is represented through the written,

art and film pieces submitted this year.
