Software design competition to promote healthy lifestyles
The Department of Health is organising a computer game software design competition to promote the cultivation of healthy lifestyles, a spokesman for the Department said today (Sunday).
Entries for the competition should be able to bring out messages on the importance of healthy life practices and the methods of diseases prevention in general.
All students and members of the public are invited to participate in the competition which is organised jointly with the Hong Kong Computer Society and the Hong Kong Association for Computer Education.
The entries will be judged on their effectiveness in bringing out the messages, their attractiveness, creativity and visual effects, and whether they are user-friendly and be understood by the general public. Some of them may be selected for public display at the Department's Student Health Service Centres and Health Education Centres.
Attractive prizes will be given to winners of the two divisions, namely the student division and the open division.
The champion of each division will receive a laptop computer, while the first and second runners-up will be presented prizes worth about $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.
Furthermore, two special prizes will be given for the most educational and the most creative entries. Each winner will get a cash coupon of $5,000.
All participating units, whether individual or group, will receive a souvenir.
Participants are free to make use of animation cartoon stories, still or motion image games, or question-and-answer format in designing their entries.
Application forms for the competition can be obtained from secondary schools and government general out-patient clinics.
The completed form, together with the entry, must be submitted to the Student Health Service Division of the Department of Health, fourth floor, Lam Tin Polyclinic, 99 Kai Tin Road, Kwun Tong, by hand or by mail on or before July 8, 1996.
