PRIZES FOR SAFETY POSTER DESIGN WINNERS
*****
A STUDENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EXTRA-MURAL STUDIES OF THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG AND ONE FROM QUEEN'S COLLEGE HAVE WON THE TWO TOP PRIZES FOR THEIR ENTRIES IN THE 15TH ANNUAL INDUSTRIAL SAFETY POSTER DESIGN COMPETITION ORGANISED BY THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT.
THE WINNING ENTRIES WERE SELECTED BY A PANEL OF JUDGES COMPRISING AN ARTS INSPECTOR FROM THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, MR LEE SAU-KEE, A LECTURER FROM THE DESIGN DEPARTMENT OF THE HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC, MR DERICK PAO, AND TWO OFFICERS FROM THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT.
THE COMPETITION, WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS - AN +A+ SECTION, FOR STUDENTS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND TECHNICAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND A +B+ SECTION, FOR POST-SECONDARY COLLEGES AND VOCATIONAL INSTITUTES. IT ATTRACTED A RECORD 675 ENTRIES.
IN SECTION +A+, THE FIRST PRIZE OF A GIFT COUPON OF $1 500 GOES TO LEE KIN-HUNG OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE, AND IN SECTION +B+ A SIMILAR COUPON, GOES TO LAI OI-SHAN OF THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY,
IN ADDITION, 10 ENTRIES FROM EACH SECTION WILL BE AWARDED $300 GIFT COUPONS AS CONSOLATION PRIZES.
THE PRIZES WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE SAFETY EXTRAVAGANZA+ SLIDE SHOW AND INDUSTRIAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT EXHIBITION IN THE CITY HALL EXHIBITION HALL ON MAY 10.
THE STANDARD OF SOME OF THE ENTRIES IN BOTH SECTIONS WAS QUITE GOOD, MR DERICK PAO, OF THE POLYTECHNIC SAID. ENTRIES IN THE +B+ SECTION WERE COMPARATIVELY MORE CREATIVE AND FEATURED BETTER IMAGES AND INDUSTRIAL SAFETY SLOGANS, HE ADDED.
+MORE IMPORTANT AND ENCOURAGING FOR US IS THE FACT THAT THE ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE TO THE COMPETITION UNDERLINED THE PARTICIPANTS' INTEREST IN AND CONCERN FOR INDUSTRIAL SAFETY, HE NOTED.
