Contests

To make learning about the Battle of Hong Kong and its aftermath more interesting, we sponsor a yearly contest focused on high-school students. Each student will take up the challenge of responding to one of the veterans' stories by creating their own story based on what they have learned from the veteran. The student's work will be marked by an independent panel with prizes for the best in class being awarded. We will be updating the instructions for the next contest in September.
