SCULPTURE BY YOUNG ARTISTS ON DISPLAY

About 50 pieces of original sculpture by young artists, group-conceived

and presented together under the title "Young People's World," will go on display

in the main concourse of the Ocean Terminal for two days from tomorrow (August 27).

The project is one of the last in the 1972 summer programme organised

by the Group and Community Work Division of the Social Welfare Department.

It was inspired by a similar competition mounted during the Festival

of Hong Kong in December, and which was favourably received by the public.

Before the exhibition opens at 11.30 a.m., a panel of judges headed

by Mr. Grahame Blundell, Chief Information Officer, Information Services Department,

will carefully inspect all the entries to select the most outstanding for special

prizes. Mr. Blundell will be assisted by Miss Ko Siu-wah, General Secretary of the

Y.W.C.A., and Mr. Cheung Yee, an artist.

They will reach their conclusions by seeing to what extent participating

teams of young sculptors have adhered to the theme youth in a changing society.

Before the prizes are presented, representatives of 1,500 young people
