Competition information
The ‘My Harbour’ Design Competition follows our recently published Public Opinion Survey, in which the public told us loud and clear that they wanted the Harbour to have more greening areas, promenades, ground level pedestrian access and priority of harbourfront land development given to leisure activities. The competition aims to encourage the public to use their imagination and creativity to bring those wishes to life in their paintings, drawings, models and multimedia presentations. The competition aims to share the public visions for the harbour; it will not solicit professional design proposals.

There are exciting prizes awaiting for the winners. We have a pair of return tickets to one of the world’s most famous harbours – Sydney of Australia. We also have helicopter rides over the harbour and a series of cash prizes. All winning and honorable entries will be part of a month long touring exhibition in June. All first prize winners will also receive a free helicopter ride over Hong Kong Harbour. To increase the chances of winning, we have organized many categories to chose from - including a family category.
