Overwhelming Response to "Short Story Competition 2005" Co-hosted by The Standard and RTHK The Standard has co-organized a short story competition with RTHK 3. This year's theme is "A Breath of Fresh Air". The competition is divided into junior and senior sections with the aim of promoting creativity, originality and high standards in English writing. The competition received tremendous response from members of the public. We collected almost 1,000 entries. The prize presentation ceremony was held on December 12 in Central.
Award winners received book vouchers, selected books and a consultation
with the editor of a well-known book publishing company. Their articles
may also be published in the Weekend Standard magazine and Student
Standard. The Standard's Corporate Book Project a Success
More importantly, the book indicates that K. Wah's pathway to success was its faith in the resilience of Hong Kong people, and the belief that Hong Kong would always bounce back from calamities and go on to greater strength and success. Following its success with the K. Wah book, The Standard's Advertising
Department is now embarking on other corporate book projects.  In
view of the importance of computer and digital products to Hong Kong
people's daily lives, PC Market launched PCM Light on October 18.
Focusing on both I.T. practical application and infotainment, the
new booklet carries daily tips for using computer and internet. PCM
Light is the only I.T. publication in Hong Kong that is tailor-made
for digital home living.
