***********************************************************
The Youth Programme Co-ordinating Committee (YPCC) will organise the 18 Districts Cheering Team Competition under the theme "Vitality. Love @ HKSAR" through the Home Affairs Department (HAD) at Queen Elizabeth Stadium at noon on July 1. Members of the public are welcome to watch the competition to enjoy youthful vigour and excitement.
The competition is district-based, with one secondary school team and one primary school team coming from each of the 18 districts. Apart from gold, silver, bronze and merit awards, the participants will also vie for the best slogan, best formation and best costume awards.
To add colour to the event, the organiser has invited the cheering team of the East China Normal University, Shanghai, and the Indonesian national team to demonstrate and exchange their skills with local youths, and to spread positive energy together.
Organised by the YPCC under the Commission on Youth and co-organised by the HAD and the District Youth Programme Committees of the 18 districts, the competition is not only one of the major territory-wide youth programmes of the year, but also a celebration event to mark the 17th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Free tickets for the competition will be available from June 24 at the Public Enquiry Service Centres of District Offices on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last. For enquiries, please call 2835 1546 or visit www.hksar17.gov.hk.
