Thank you for those who voted for your favorite entries. We are grateful to announce that after consolidating the votes from HKUST staff, students and alumni and the scores given by the judging panel, the awards go to the following students:

• Strengthen bonding within the University and beyond with the community
• Cultivate a sense of belonging with HKUST
• Spread love, care, mutual support and positive vibes to members and friends of HKUST
• Create a series of fun visual resources with HKUST identity for members to spice up their daily life conversations and interaction on social media

Participants must be full-time/ part-time students studying at HKUST.  They may enter the competition either as individual entrants, or in a team consisted of no more than four students.  Each student can only participate in one entry, either as an individual entrant or part of a group.

The judging panel consisting of representatives from the University’s Dean of Students' Office, Public Affairs Office, and professionals from the design/ marketing field will review the submissions and select the best 5 entries*.  Students, staff and alumni of HKUST will then be invited to vote for their favorite among the Top 5*.  The voting result will contribute 30% to the total score, while the scores given by the judging panel weigh 70%.  Entries with the highest total scores will be named the Champion, 1st Runner-up and 2nd Runner-up respectively.  The remaining two from the Top 5* will receive the Merit Awards.

The Champion’s entry (and may be the entries of the first and second runner-ups) will be publicized and made available to the public and the HKUST community, and may be adapted to stickers for other social media platforms.

*Due to intense competition and tied scores, top six entries were selected by judging panel instead of five after a detailed deliberation.

• Content relevance (meeting the objectives set)
• Creativity and liveliness
• Originality
• Aesthetics

All prizes are sponsored by the HKUST Alumni Endowment Fund (AEF), our first-ever endowment fund to receive donations mainly from alumni, aiming to support a variety of initiatives to enrich students’ university life.
