Against the backdrop of the national 15th Five-Year Plan, which supports Hong Kong in consolidating its competitive advantages and integrating into national development, the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong SAR held the award ceremony for the 4th "My Hong Kong Story" English Short Video Contest on March 19.
The contest, themed "GBA through My Lens" for the first time, received 110 entries with over 4 million views on social media. Deputy Commissioner Hua You addressed the ceremony, noting that the event serves as a key platform to tell the stories of "one country, two systems" and showcase the vitality of GBA integration and Chinese-style modernization. He called on all sectors to innovatively share Hong Kong's progress in its transition from governance to prosperity.
Wong Ho-yiu, a Secondary 5 student from Ko Lui Secondary School, won the championship with his work The Pulse of the GBA, created with AI filmmaking skills learned at school.
The contest accepted documentaries, dramas, and animations. Ten finalists were selected from 30 shortlisted works and shown on the Facebook page. Winners were judged by online engagement (30%) and scores from the Office and 5 Hong Kong media professionals (70%).
The winners, Yu Tsun-ho and Fung Hei-nok from Ko Lui Secondary School, drew inspiration from a drone light show in Shenzhen. Despite tight academic schedules, they finished filming and editing in just two to three days and plan to pursue careers in the film and television industry.
Other participants included a team from BNBU focusing on drone entrepreneurship in Qianhai, HKU student Aiden Tai highlighting the Lion Rock Spirit, and independent producer Lee Sin-ting sharing stories of young Hong Kong entrepreneurs.
The contest has provided a stage for Hong Kong youth to express themselves and injected youthful energy into promoting GBA integration and telling China's stories well.
