The competition, which was organised by the Wen Wai Po to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of the founding of the HKSAR, received a total of 5,130 works from civil servants in Mainland, Hong Kong, USA, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei.

At a ceremony held earlier this month at Hong Kong Central Library, 28 awards were handed out to Force representatives. The most notable among them were a second-class 'calligraphy' award to Senior Inspector Ma Yun-hein and third-class awards to Station Sergeant Kwok Yiu-wai and Sergeant Wong Chun-chuen. Police Translator, Ms Chu Yuen-yee, won a third-class award in the Chinese painting category.

Secretary for Civil Service, Mr Joseph W P Wong; Secretary for Home Affairs, Dr Ho Chi-ping, and Commissioner Tsang Yam-pui, were among senior Mainland and HKSAR officials at the ceremony. There was also a three-day exhibition of some of the outstanding works submitted.
