The Planning Department and the City Gallery are holding the "City Impression@Your Neighbourhood" photographic competition. It aims to arouse public awareness of our neighbourhoods. The award-winning entries will be exhibited at the "City Impression@Your Neighbourhood" thematic exhibition in the City Gallery at the end of this year. To encourage more students and the public to participate, the deadline for submission of entries will be extended by two weeks from September 19 to October 3, 2013.
The competition comprises two sections - the Secondary School section and the Open section - with the respective themes "A Week in Neighbourhood" and "City Impression@Your Neighbourhood". A champion, two runners-up and 10 outstanding awards will be selected for each section. Each winner will be awarded a cash coupon and a trophy/certificate. In addition, to promote the message of community giving, competition participants are encouraged to donate their prizes to their neighbourhood or other charity organisations in their district.
The "City Impression@Your Neighbourhood" campaign is one of the events under the "Caring Hong Kong" theme of the "Hong Kong: Our Home" Campaign. For enrolment or details about the photographic competition, please visit the City Gallery's website at www.citygallery.gov.hk or call 3102 1242.
