THE COMPETITION IS JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT, THE RECREATION AND SPORT SERVICE, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT'S COMMUNITY YOUTH CLUB AND CARITAS.

IT IS THE SECOND MAJOR PUBLICITY EFFORT TO PROMOTE THE FIFTH FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED BY THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT AND VOLUNTARY AGENCIES. THE FIRST WAS A COLOURFUL YOUTH CARNIVAL AT THE OCEAN PARK IN SEPTEMBER.
