Public invited to join "enjoy safe hiking campaign" contests
Members of the community are invited to take part in two competitions under the Enjoy Safe Hiking Campaign organised by the Agriculture and Fisheries Department (AFD) which is now in full swing.
An AFD spokesman said today (Saturday) that participants were welcome to join either one or both competitions which were to test their innovations. The first is the warning sign design contest and the other is slogan invention competition.
For the warning sign competition, entrants are required to design a two-colour sign informing hikers the steep and slippery path ahead. Entries should be made on an A4 size cardboard.
On the second competition, the spokesman said a slogan of no more than 20 words promoting the message of hiking safety should be created.
Each entry should be accompanied or completed with an application form, and submitted to AFD's Education Section, Room 319, Canton Road Government Offices, Kowloon not later than February 28 next year.
Each competition will be divided into two groups, junior (aged 15 or under) and senior (over 15). The overall winner of each group will be awarded a $1,500 cash prize and a trophy.
