The contest, which consists of two categories – students and general public both individual and group – aims to encourage more local youngsters to “deeply explore the wonderful moments” of Hengqin and Macau, and to write about the “beautiful life” in both places, is sponsored by Bank of China (Macau) and MacauO2O, one of the cross-border e-commerce (business-to-consumer) platforms certified by the Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM).
The press conference noted that the jury will select the gold, silver, bronze and finalist awards for each category according to the theme, creative concept, visual communication and other aspects of the submissions.
