Deadline for software design competition
The Department of Health today (Tuesday) reminded students and members of the public that the computer game software design competition organised by the Department to promote the cultivation of healthy lifestyles would close on July 8 (Monday).
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.
Two special prizes will also be given for the most educational and the most creative entries. Each winner will get a cash coupon of $5,000.
Furthermore, all participating units, whether individual or group, will receive a
souvenir.
"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.
"They will be judged on their effectiveness in bringing out the messages, their attractiveness, creativity and visual effects, and whether they are easy to use 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," a spokesman for the Department said.
Participants are free to make use of animation cartoon stories, still or motion image games, or questions and answers format in designing their entries.
Application forms for the competition can be obtained from secondary schools and government general out-patient clinics.
