BIG CASH PRIZES FOR SCHOOL ANTI-LITTER COMPETITIONS
Cash prizes and book tokens with a total value of more than
$20,000 will be awarded for winning entries in four competitions on anti-
litter themes which have been launched in local schools as part of the
"Clean Hong Kong" drive.
The competitions are for photography, poetry, a study kit for
teaching purposes and a poster and bookmark design.
Different categories have been arranged for entries from both
students and teachers in the photography, poetry and study kit competitions.
The poster and bookmark design competition is open to students only.
Details are being sent to 2,500 schools throughout Hong Kong
with a circular from the Director of Education who is appealing to
headteachers to ensure that staff and students are made fully aware of
the importance of the "Keep Hong Kong Clean" campaign.
**They should give every possible encouragement and opportunity
to their schools for voluntary participation in activities organised to
promote the campaign," the circular says.
"The response of the school community depends to a very large
extent on the enthusiasm and interest shown by heads of schools and their
staff. Their efforts in encouraging students are vital to the success
of the campaign."
