We are pleased to announce our latest winners and sincerely thank all of you, our readers, for your thoughtful and well-researched submissions. Here are some of our favourite entries from the first quarter of 2025.
Best Letters
Retaining fragments of Chinese culture
Peter Chui Pui-ling from Maryknoll Fathers’ School impressed us with his letter about preserving Chinese opera in the city. He expressed his disappointment with the inadequate measures taken by the government to preserve local Chinese culture, citing the closure of the Sunbeam Theatre.
Supporting the LGBTQ community
Emily Kwai from Munsang College wrote a thought-provoking letter about Hong Kong students building a more progressive society with the Hong Kong Secondary Schools Gender Studies Club (GSC). The club strives to support and raise awareness about the LGBTQ community through educational activities and community events.
Best Face Off
Chelsea Chen of St Paul’s Co-educational College won Best Face off for this quarter after giving a compelling argument in opposition to a mandate requiring private schools to disclose their finances.
Best Insight
Monique Siu of Chinese International School won Best Insight for her thoughtful analysis in The Lens, where she discussed the impact of US President Donald Trump’s bid to annex Greenland.
Most Creative
Ava Tee Yuet-yee from St Paul’s Convent School took home this quarter’s creativity award for her suggestions on our Top 10 page to start the new year by poking fun at dramatic goals, making outrageous predictions and hosting a silly dance competition.
Most Engaged School
Ma On Shan Tsung Tsin Secondary School earned the distinction of Best Contributing School this quarter. We received a wealth of enthusiastic responses from the school, including numerous submissions for Top 10. Student responses were received weekly, and questions from those selected as school ambassadors have been published.
Winners will receive a certificate and a special YP notebook to encourage them in their writing journeys. We will contact the students about their prizes.
