ESF students take three prizes at Young Writers Awards
Young Writers Awards 2010
ESF schools were strongly represented at the Hong Kong Young Writers Awards 2010, winning prizes in three categories.
Author and award-winning journalist Nury Vittachi got the ball rolling with a humorous pep talk to illustrate why Hong Kong needs more creative thinking. This was followed by the presentation ceremony.
Alantha Zhang (CWB) won in the 9 and under age group with her short story, A Pearl on the Shore of South China Sea: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology [HKUST] and Justin Lai (BHS) came out on top with his tale, The Hidden Time Machine.
Nadia Cheng (BS) won a prize for her artwork which was selected as the cover of the anthology of writing compiled from this year’s submissions. All three admitted to being excited, proud and even a little nervous on hearing they had won.
There were also awards for a number of ESF students whose work is featured in the New Tales of the South China Sea anthology.
