ESF students take three prizes at Young Writers Awards
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.
