The Girl Being Rated

Champion

Contestants: CAI NGAN PING, LEE SI TUNG, WONG KA KI, LAM KWAN YI
School: Salvation Army William Booth Secondary School

Artwork description

This work uses narrative to explore how students are defined by grades and standards, and how these judgments shape relationships and self-worth. Scores and rankings are often treated as measures of ability. High achievers are labeled “excellent”, while others are seen as “not good enough”. But can human values truly be reduced to a single standard? The story unfolds in five parts. In the first scene, a conversation between Ann and her mother unintentionally links grades with value, affecting her friendship with Eva. In the next scene, Eva is labeled and categorized by classmates and an AI evaluation system, facing both academic pressure and external judgment. The third scene marks a turning point. Despite being underestimated, Eva helps a friend in need, showing courage and kindness beyond measurable results. In the fourth scene, Ann reflects on her actions, realizing she overlooked others’ worth because of grades. She begins to change. In the final scene, their friendship is rebuilt through mutual support and acceptance of imperfection. The AI system symbolizes how technology can calculate scores but cannot measure effort, empathy, or integrity. The work invites reflection on whether data-driven systems overlook the complexity of human value.

Navigating in a World Out of Focus

1st Runner-up, The Most Creative Design

Contestants: IP ANGELINA JERRIS, MAO KAI KI, KWAN TSZ WING, WONG SZE NGA
School: Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School

Artwork description

this art piece explores disorientation and renewal in the digital age through strong visual contrast. The left side presents a cold, data-driven universe filled with floating cities, glowing symbols, and a mechanical hand holding a phone, symbolizing information overload and emotional detachment. In this hyper-connected environment, people can process data clearly but struggle to truly understand each other, resulting in a state of disconnection. In contrast, the right side introduces warm golden light breaking through the haze, focusing on a girl holding a blue energy body that combines geometric structure with a human eye, representing the fusion of technology and emotion. In the background, students gather and interact, suggesting that AI can support collaboration rather than replace human connection. A golden paper plane in the night sky symbolizes imagination and individual voice. It is earnestly believed that the future depends not only on technological advancement, but on our ability to retain empathy, creativity, and meaningful human connection.

AI Security

2nd Runner-up

Contestants: AU I NGA
School: Caritas St. Joseph Secondary School

Artwork description

Technology is meant to support our growth, yet on the left side of this poster it appears cold, even cruel. Imagine someone using AI face-swapping to place your identity into a fake video, exposing you to public ridicule. The humiliation and harm would be deeply traumatising. Such scenarios are part of today’s digital reality. Yet change is still within our control. The warm blue light on the right side of the poster represents human choice. Technology itself has no emotion. Its meaning is defined by users. Technology may determine how fast we work, but our values determine how far we go. This work reminds viewers that in the digital age, what truly matters is not the technology itself, but how it is used. Only through empathy can trust and safety be built between the virtual world and real life. By encouraging responsibility and awareness, the piece calls for a more compassionate use of technology. It invites us to respond with care rather than harm, and to shape a digital environment that is safer, kinder, and more human for everyone.

A Silent Shout

2nd Runner-up, The Most Creative Design

Contestants: LAM WAI KI, WONG TSZ WAI, FU CHAP IN
School: Holy Trinity College

Artwork description

This work focuses on the neglected issue of human trafficking in the age of artificial intelligence. While this issue may not always receive widespread attention, victims often suffer physical abuse, psychological oppression, and are even forced into fraudulent activities. Using the KK Industrial Park in Myanmar as a symbolic backdrop, the work presents people lured into hardship by high-paying jobs, revealing its hidden and severe reality. The AI-generated visuals create a somber and oppressive atmosphere; the characters' expressions of fear and helplessness symbolize the silent cries for help and psychological trauma of those trapped, evoking empathy in the viewer. During the creative process, we utilized various AI tools and repeatedly adjusted instructions to present images closer to the theme, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the complexity and weight of this issue. The work aims to remind the public that human trafficking is not a distant phenomenon, often stemming from momentary trust and greed. Therefore, we should be vigilant, avoid falling into traps, and pay more attention to those around us who are easily deceived. In an era where AI can both assist in creation and be abused, this work calls for a rational and empathetic approach to technology, raising awareness and preventing this hidden crisis.

Break the Wall

The Most Creative Design

Contestants: HU QI, GUO ZI XUAN
School: SKH Li Ping Secondary School

Artwork description

In contemporary society, women are often reduced to different labels. These labels shape perception, influencing how people understand themselves and others. This work questions why such stereotypes remain so widespread and how they limit individual identity. The image shows a woman holding a hammer as she breaks a stone wall. The wall is covered with words like “emotional” and “submissive,” representing rigid social expectations. With a focused expression, she strikes using a hammer engraved with “inner strength,” symbolizing resistance and self-empowerment. As cracks spread and light enters, the scene represents a shift from being defined by society to defining oneself. The work highlights the importance of challenging stereotypes and embracing complexity. It calls for greater awareness and encourages a more inclusive future, where individuals are free to move beyond labels and fully express who they are, without constraint or expectation.

Untying a Knot in my Heart

The Most Popular Design

Contestants: CHU HIU YUET, CHEN QIXUAN, LAU HEI YIN, YEUNG LAI YUNG
School: Buddhist Tai Hung College

Artwork description

One morning, my mom casually helped me tie a high ponytail. But when I stepped into the classroom, my classmates teased at me nonstop. At that time, I chose to be silent. Since then, this incident has become a thorn in my heart, aching me whenever I think of it. One day, I brought myself to tell everything to my friend. With her caring words and companionship, I gradually overcame this trauma. Through this story and art piece, I would like to tell everyone: If you feel offended, need not to bare it silently. We should all learn to protect ourselves. Don’t hide up our negative emotions to let them tie up and become a knot in our hearts. Moreover, I would like to demonstrate the importance of the care and support a female friend can give to a girl when she is growing up. If girls encounter similar incidents on campus, they should be brave to speak it up.

The Warmth Left

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LIANG WA MAN
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

Everyone has their own way of narrating, but in the age of AI, can we still retain the compassion in our hearts? I hope to use AI as a digital paintbrush, combining the Buddhist spirit of "compassion" and "awareness," to depict a story about love and transformation. In modern cities, we interact frequently through screens. Yet, the sense of alienation grows heavily in reality. A cyberpunk style is used to visualize the dense neon lights and cramped public housing in Sham Shui Po, symbolizing the loneliness and repression of modern teenage girls. And I added glitch art effects to convey sensory overload. I also utilized professional cinematic techniques to precisely capture the moment of transformation from hatred to compassion. Cold code may be the underlying logic of technology, but as long as we hold compassion in our hearts, it can become a bridge to spread warmth. May we all use the power of technology to cultivate positive connections and let compassion speak out.

A Conflict

Outstanding Design

Contestants: CHOW WING SZE
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

Once, my best friend and I were on a busy street. Her habitually harsh words ignited my pent-up anger, I yelled at her and walking away without looking back. To vividly convey the intense emotional conflict between teenagers, I created this piece with a Disney animation style, employing exaggerated expressions and strong cinematic lighting to recreate that moment of anger and discomfort. When I returned home, the silence calmed me down. Looking at our photos on my phone, I genuine regretted what I did, but my ego wouldn't allow me to apologize. While I was struggling with this dilemma, I remembered the concept of "giving" (dāna) I had learned about in a Buddhist class. The highest form of giving is offering tolerance and understanding. Therefore, I decided to let go of my ego and apologize to her via message. This was a practice of the Buddhist concept. I used AI to generate a silhouette of a sunset over Victoria Harbour, with us walking side-by-side into the golden afterglow. The double lighting and a dreamy orange-purple sky symbolise that we cherish each other more after a storm. Technology can help us create the most beautiful sunsets, but what ultimately restores friendship is a sincere heart willing to forgive.

The World Paused

Outstanding Design

Contestants: MO KWUN YEE
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

This piece tells the story of a close friend leaving to study abroad, while also serving as a digital reflection on the Buddhist teaching of ‘connection’. Through AI, I aim to capture the enduring sincerity of friendship that transcends distance and time. In the modern city, partings are common. When I learned of my friend’s departure, I felt a deep sense of estrangement. The work contrasts the warm orange glow of sunset with the cold light of a phone screen, symbolizing the fracture between outer reality and inner emotion. Buddhism reminds us to let go of attachment. Yet when faced with separation, we often cling to the present moment, forgetting that all things have their own cause and connection. The hollow feeling of absence is the very question I wish to explore: how can we preserve our genuineness amid life’s uncertainties? At its core, this work gives form to the weight of a soul. Departure is not an ending, but another continuation of connection.

An Adventure to Sai Kung

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LAU KAI YING, CHOI HOI YUET
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

Yan and Choi travel to Sai Kung to visit a floating classroom run by fishermen and scientists. This small artificial bay blends ecology and technology, using sensors to track temperature, oxygen, and pH value to keep the ecosystem in balance. There, they observe how pearls form: a mussel coats an irritant with layers of nacre, turning defense into beauty. Algae drive carbon and nitrogen cycles through photosynthesis, supplying energy and oxygen for life. red tilapia swim through the water, keeping the water clean. Fish and mussels form a mutual system: mussels filter water, while fish break down waste, maintaining stability. This experience deepens their understanding of the ocean’s complexity and fragility. The work presents how technology and ecological farming can transform traditional fisheries, balancing economic needs and environmental care, and imagining a more sustainable future at sea. Through narrative and careful observation, the piece highlights cooperation between humans and nature, showing that sustainable practices are built on respect, knowledge, and shared responsibility. It invites viewers to reflect on how innovation can support tradition without harm, and how small systems can inspire wider environmental awareness and care in everyday life, encouraging deeper connection with marine environments and future.

A Timeless Learning Journey

Outstanding Design

Contestants: SO HOI YUET TRACY
School: Caritas St. Joseph Secondary School

Artwork description

This image reflects our journey of growing up. On the left, it shows the past: from copying notes as children to handling documents and work later in life. We spent long hours with paper, pens, and computers, while many ideas remained only in our minds. On the right, the arrival of AI changes this. It improves efficiency and supports creation. Work that once required years of training can now begin with a simple idea, as AI helps turn thoughts into visible results. Its value lies in removing technical limits, making creativity more accessible. The work invites viewers to rethink their own potential. Ideas once ignored can now be renewed. AI becomes an extension of imagination, allowing feelings and thoughts to be tangible. Creation depends less on skill and more on ideas. Ultimately, the piece is an invitation to act: create, share, and take the first step. With technology, anyone can become a creator, where imagination can truly become reality. By embracing these tools, we open new paths for expression and connection. It encourages courage, curiosity, and persistence in turning ideas into meaningful work, reminding us creativity belongs to everyone willing to try.

Designing Our Future Homes

Outstanding Design

Contestants: ZHOU BERNICE
School: Caritas St. Joseph Secondary School

Artwork description

This image presents the evolution of our design journey while reflecting how we see ourselves as creators. On the left, a figure in a traditional school uniform represents an era when drawing depended entirely on handwork. Without an undo button, a single mistake could require starting over. Every line demanded patience and respect for space. As technology evolves, computers replaced drafting tables, and tools like CAD and drawing tablets became popular. Although efficiency is improved, our dedication remained unchanged, as we continued to refine each line and measurement. On the right, a new future emerges. With AR technology, design extends beyond 2D into 3D. We can assemble furniture in midair, adjust light, and visualise our ideas instantly. What once existed only in imagination now appears directly in front of us. From paper and pen to holographic projection, tools continue to evolve. Yet, our original purpose remains unchanged: using the best technology available to design better living spaces and create a more ideal home for the city we share.

Age Discrimination

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LAM CHUNG YI, WUN HIU TUNG
School: TWGHs Li Ka Shing College

Artwork description

In recent years, age discrimination in the workplace has become increasingly serious. Older individuals are often seen as unable to adapt to technological change, while younger workers are viewed as inexperienced and unreliable. This work uses visual contrast to show how such bias affects people. People of different ages are overlooked, questioned, and sometimes isolated. This phenomenon limits opportunity and creates psychological pressure, influencing both social and personal wellbeing. When age becomes a measure of ability, true skill and potential are obscured. Through AI, the work transforms invisible prejudices into visible images, demonstrating their negative impacts. It also invites reflection: in a society driven by efficiency and competition, do we overlook the value of different age groups? The piece calls for empathy and awareness, urging viewers to challenge assumptions and build a more inclusive and equitable workplace. By recognizing diverse strengths, we can create environments where people of all ages are respected, supported, and able to thrive together with dignity and shared understanding in everyday working life.

Beyond the Surface

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LI JIA XI
School: TWGHs Yow Kam Yuen College

Artwork description

This work explores the theme of breaking gender bias, inspired by stories of women who challenge social expectations. The six figures come from different eras and fields, including aviator Amelia Earhart, tennis champion Billie Jean King, and scientist Tu Youyou. Together, they show that women should not be defined by a single label. The deep-sea setting symbolizes a world shaped by silence, pressure, and prejudice. Tangled seaweed represents social constraints that restrict talents and opportunity. Despite these obstacles, the women swim upward toward light, embodying resilience and determination. A small bird appears as a symbol of freedom and hope, suggesting the possibility beyond limitations. The painting uses a textured oil paint to emphasize emotional depth and strength. Light gradually shifts from dim to bright, reflecting the ongoing process of overcoming bias and moving toward openness. Hands in the foreground extend toward the viewer, offering guidance and encouragement. Our road to gender quality is still long. But continued effort and collective voices can create transformation, empowering future generations to live beyond limitations.

Breaking Gender Stereotypes

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LI YU SHAN, LI LING, SHI SZE
School: Salvation Army William Booth Secondary School

Artwork description

This work explores how gender stereotypes limit personal growth, emphasizing that talent should not be defined by gender. Society often assigns fixed roles to men and women, shaping expectations and influencing our choices. The image presents a dual narrative. On one side, a girl passionate about mechanics persists despite judgements, eventually becoming a professional. On the other, a boy who dreams of ballet continues despite ridicule and earns recognition through dedication. Their parallel journeys highlight the courage needed to break social expectations. Symbolically, gears combine with the female sign while starlight pairs with the male sign, suggesting a reimagining of traditional roles and possibilities. The work delivers a clear message: gender should never restrict choice or potential. It calls for greater understanding and support, encouraging a more inclusive society where individuals are free to explore their interests and grow. Ultimately, it hopes to inspire a future where diversity, equality, and respect are fully embraced.

Campus Bullying

Group: Junior

Contestants: LI HEI TUNG HAZEL, NG CHING YIN ANGIE, SUN KATRIEL
School: Tak Nga Secondary School

Artwork description

This artwork captures a troubling scene within a school canteen—a space meant to offer safety, comfort, and community. At its centre stands a young girl, isolated despite being surrounded by her peers. Food is deliberately scattered before her, transforming a place of nourishment into one of humiliation. Her bowed head reflects fear and quiet despair, while those around her respond not with empathy, but with laughter, mockery, and the intrusive gaze of phone cameras. The piece confronts the pervasive reality of school bullying and its enduring impact. Beyond immediate harm, it erodes confidence, fractures trust, and isolates individuals from meaningful connection. The emotional distress it causes can disrupt both learning and personal growth, leaving marks that persist far beyond the moment itself. By presenting this scene, the work calls for collective responsibility: urging viewers not to remain passive, but to act with compassion, courage, and care in the face of injustice.

Real x Virtual: Resonation

Outstanding Design

Contestants: TUNG KAILEY, WAN YI NGA MELODY, WONG HIU TUNG RENEE
School: Tak Nga Secondary School

Artwork description

Set in an everyday campus scene, this work explores how teenagers live in an age shaped by AI and digital networks, and how technology can be used in balance. A group of students walk past a café titled “Gen Our Voice,” where a slogan emphasizes the core message: what truly matters is each person’s authentic voice and experience. Although they appear to be shopping and chatting, many students remain absorbed in their phones, revealing a reliance on the virtual world. While AI idols and online content can offer comfort and entertainment, excessive engagement may distance individuals from reality. Subtle details reflect this tension. Some students glance up from their screens with uncertain expressions, suggesting confusion and emptiness. Surrounding posters reinforce the idea that real choices shape the future, not fleeting digital satisfaction. Rather than rejecting technology, the work encourages mindful use. It invites viewers to reconnect with the present, value real relationships, and rediscover a balance in everyday life.

Are You Real?

Outstanding Design

Contestants: CHENG YUE NICOLE, ZHAN WAI SHUEN, LAW YIN HEI MINA, ZHUANG YI CHING
School: Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School

Artwork description

Are You Real? explores how the meaning of “reality” becomes vague in the age of AI. As technology can now imitate voices, generate faces, and replicate expressions, we begin to question whether what we see and hear can still be trusted. The work centres on the online experience of a secondary school girl, reflecting how individuals are copied, categorized, and judged in digital spaces. She appears trapped in a state of “verification,” where not only her image but also her identity is constantly examined. While AI can record data and appearance, it cannot understand human emotions or authentic experience. In online environments, women are more likely to be affected by filters, labels, and comments, often leading to misunderstanding or harm. As artificial images become more convincing, real people remain vulnerable. When truth becomes uncertain, can we still trust our own feelings? It affirms that identity should come from memory, emotion, and self-understanding, not from data or algorithms.

Why are We so Close?

Outstanding Design

Contestants: PANG TSZ CHING, YAU YI LAM, LEE NGA YI, YIN SO KI
School: Jockey Club Man Kwan EduYoung College

Artwork description

Today, many people rely on social media to maintain relationships, while face-to-face interaction becomes less common, often making friendships superficial and fragile. Through the experiences of four friends, the piece presents a more genuine and lasting form of connection, while reflecting on what sustains it. It highlights that strong friendships require active effort and sincere presence. The friends make time to meet, share everyday moments, and allow their bond to grow naturally. When conflicts arise, they rely on open and honest communication to prevent misunderstandings from deepening. Acceptance and trust also play a crucial role, as they embrace imperfections and honour commitments, strengthening their relationship over time. Created with AI, the work transforms abstract emotions into visual form, emphasizing that even in a digital era, authentic and lasting human connections remain deeply valuable.

Awareness in Mind

Participation Design

Contestants: YAM HI YI
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

While my teammates laughed and talked, I sat silent, grabbing my fingers tightly. This moment of contrast became the inspiration of the work. This piece is more than an AI image. It explores how emotions can be understood and transformed. Using AI, I turn personal feelings from school life into reflections inspired by Buddhist ideas of ‘connection’ and ‘balance’. Group work should support growth, but it often reveals distance and imbalance. The image shows this clearly. One figure is focused, while another appears distant. A tension sits beneath the calm surface. People often hold onto fairness and ignore others’ feelings. This discomfort makes loneliness stronger even in a crowd. By turning inner conflict into visible form, this work seeks balance. It suggests technology can carry emotion, reflection, and empathy, encouraging understanding and kindness in shared spaces. It invites viewers to pause, rethink their perceptions, and notice small emotional gaps in everyday interactions. Through this, awareness in mind can grow into deeper connection and compassion for others.

Contestants: CHAN CHOY E EDITH, KWOK NGA YING CANDY, LAM HOI CHING HALEY, LAU TSZ CHING ABIGAIL
School: Tak Nga Secondary School

Artwork description

This work combines realism with cinematic lighting, using a single overhead light source to create strong contrast and focus on a bullied student. The victim is isolated in the light, emphasizing fear and vulnerability, while the aggressors remain in shadow, symbolizing the hidden nature of school violence. The incident happens at an aging corridor with scattered books and enclosed space, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere. The victim curls inward in helplessness, the aggressors exert pressure, and bystanders watch indifferently. This highlights the ‘bystander effect’, showing how inaction can worsen harm. Books on the floor symbolize the disruption of the victim’s learning and daily life. Instead of graphic imagery, we stress on emotional and psychological impact, encouraging empathy. The piece exposes the often unseen reality of bullying, criticizing both direct violence and silent indifference, and calls for greater awareness and a safer, more supportive environment for students.

School: Pope Paul VI College

Artwork description

This work is inspired by a campus cultural activity. That activity brings us a question: must tradition and technology stand in opposition, or can they grow together? Our work’s theme is the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance of Hong Kong, depicting a traditional workshop where a craftsman carefully constructs the dragon, while a mechanical arm assists in supporting its structure. This symbolizes collaboration between human and technology. Our work presents a dialogue transcending time, suggesting that tradition is not static but can evolve with technological support. Here, AI is not simply a tool, but a bridge connecting past and future. The work invites viewers to consider how innovation can help preserve cultural heritage, allowing it to remain relevant and vibrant for new generations.

1st Runner-up

Contestants: TSANG YUEN CHING, KAU IOI LIO, HO CHIN YAU
School: Madam Lau Kam Lung Secondary School of MFBM

Artwork description

The colored light flowing around the girl is not random, but represents words and emotions that have been overlooked or diminished. At the center, a fractured mirror symbolizes the divide between different eras, while the light moving through its cracks suggests a new path opened by contemporary voices. In the lower right, an archive room filled with old radios, faded newspapers, and dusty shelves reflects the past. A headline reads, “Women should not remain silent,” yet many voices were historically ignored, revealing gaps in how stories were recorded. Among these objects, four women of different ages begin to speak as the colored light flows into them, symbolizing voices being reawakened. The radio vibrates and text turns gold, suggesting forgotten histories returning to view. Titled Echo, the work conveys that voices never truly disappear, they wait to be heard again, and through creation, everyone can speak.

Break the Silence of Bullying

2nd Runner-up

Contestants: LAM CHI CHING, LAU SIN TUNG, YIP TSZ CHING
School: HKMA KS Lo College

Artwork description

A girl sits alone on the ground, her expression filled with sadness, while three others mock and isolate her. A phone screen beside her displays the words “no help available,” symbolizing her inability to find support or understanding. We hope to bring up a reflection of the “bystander” role. Bullying is not only driven by the actions of aggressors; the silence and indifference of observers can also deepen harm. What may be dismissed as a joke can cause lasting emotional damage. The piece calls for courage to speak up, intervene, and support those affected. Visually, it adopts a Japanese anime style, using bright and vivid colors to depict a heavy and distressing subject. This contrast highlights how serious issues are often hidden beneath an outwardly light atmosphere. Bullying is not distant or rare, but a reality that can occur anywhere. Collective responsibility is needed to break the silence and stop harm.

Her Story of Dream Chasing

The Most Creative Design

Contestants: LO TSZ YAU VIOLA
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

Yu is a girl with a dream of becoming a dancer. She faces obstacels along the way, yet remains determined in her aspirations. The work uses AI to generate visually consistent styles, and through fixed parameter settings, symbolizes Yu's persistent faith amidst changing environments. When pursuing her dreams, she gradually understands that difficulties are part of growth, accumulating wisdom and experience through reflection and correction. This process echoes the Buddhist emphasis on “contemplation” and “awareness”, pointing out that wisdom stems not only from personal effort but also from understanding life and others. Simultaneously, she learns to cherish the support and cooperation around her, connecting herself with the world, to make her dream more profound and possible. The work emphasizes that even with a humble starting point, our dreams will eventually shine as long as we continue to grind and persevere. Technology is no longer just a cold, impersonal tool, but a medium to help express emotions and values. The work conveys the spirit of "wisdom and compassion going hand in hand," allowing viewers to feel warmth and power in their visual experience, and to rethink the relationship between technology and humanity.

Pass It On

The Most Creative Design

Contestants: CHANG TIN SUM
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

The theme of this piece is traditional Chinese opera. It explores the transformation and continuation of traditional art in an AI era. Traditional opera carries profound historical and cultural value. But in contemporary society, it is less popular among younger generation due to its differences in rhythm with other forms of music they adore. It faces challenges such as an aging audience and a lack of apprentice. However, this does not mean that traditional opera is outdated. Rather, it needs new forms of expression. The work utilizes AI to transform opera elements into modern visual language, reinterpreting traditional stories in a more vivid and relatable way. This allows viewers to engage with culture in a new manner. This creation is not only the application of technology, but a regeneration and passing on of culture. In a digital age, the core of creation has shifted to imagination and vision. The younger generation is no longer just an audience, but the creators and inheritors of culture. Through technology, we can breathe new life into traditional opera, allowing traditional culture to evolve and revive.

This work responds to the realities of strict school regulations and heavy academic pressure by reimagining the campus through animal characters, transforming a rigid environment into a space of imagination and warmth. A koala serves as the discipline master, symbolizing a kinder and more compassionate form of guidance; a fox shares snacks with classmates, representing care and connection; an owl rests at its desk, reminding us of the importance of balance and rest in learning; and a squirrel collects nuts by the window, symbolizing self-discovery and inner growth. Rendered in a soft, hand-drawn style, the image creates a gentle, healing atmosphere. The work conveys three key ideas: that school life should include joy and memories beyond competition, that society should respond to student stress with greater empathy, and that AI can bring imaginative ideas into visual form. Subtle details, such as the phrase “Late is OK,” further suggest flexibility and emotional understanding within education.

Under a Rain of Algorithm

The Most Creative Design

Contestants: CHAN TSZ CHING, CHAN YING HEI LOUISE
School: Pope Paul VI College

Artwork description

This work explores how modern individuals rely heavily on social media and smartphones, continuously absorbing content shaped by algorithms. Rather than presenting objective truth, this information is tailored to personal preferences, amplifying emotions and biases while gradually weakening independent thinking. The blue-green data rain in the image symbolizes the constant and overwhelming flow of information, suggesting a form of mental saturation and subtle control. At the centre is a girl holding a geometric umbrella, which represents critical thinking. As a form of mental protection, it filters misleading and false information, reminding viewers to question and reflect before accepting what they see. The girl’s stillness amidst the chaos suggests a moment of awakening and regained awareness, while the blurred crowd around her represents those who have lost judgment and simply jump on the bandwagon. Although we cannot stop the surge of information, we can choose not to be controlled by it.

School: Our Lady’s College

Artwork description

Flowers are the central imagery of this work. It explores the diverse identities of contemporary women and the awakening of self-awareness. The flower symbolizes a shift from being watched to becoming self-rooted, capable of both gentleness and strength, flourishing across different fields. The piece draws on the metaphor of a life cycle, from seed to bloom and eventual fading, reflecting the growth, transformation, and maturity experienced by women. Three flowers: carnation, iris, and mimosa, represent independence, self-pursuit, and resilience. Together, they illustrate how women move beyond traditional roles to build their own sense of value while balancing softness and strength. The work emphasizes that women should not be confined to a single identity, but should have the freedom to choose their own paths. It also highlights gender equality and cultural diversity through the inclusion of figures with different skin tones, promoting respect and inclusion and expressing continued growth, courage, and the power to thrive despite challenges.

As AI becomes increasingly widespread, more people rely on it for information, while false and misleading content continues to grow, influencing judgment and understanding. This phenomenon becomes our inspiration. The central image of a puppet represents this condition: a large mechanical hand, symbolizing AI systems, controls human figures through strings, suggesting how algorithms quietly shape behavior and perception. Below, an oversized smartphone screen reflects how digital platforms have become the main space for daily life and awareness, highlighting dependence on online information. The overall dark tone creates a sense of pressure and unease, reinforcing the work’s warning. It invites viewers to reflect on whether we have become overly reliant on technology and whether we remain attentive to the truth behind information. The piece encourages critical thinking and independent verification, reminding us that while technology offers convenience, staying alert is essential in navigating today’s complex information landscape.

Gender Equality

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LIANG SHIQI, WU TIAN WEN
School: Caritas St. Joseph Secondary School

Artwork description

This work centres on gender equality, depicting a man and a woman standing side by side, lifting a glowing balance scale together. The image symbolizes cooperation and harmony rather than opposition or competition. It suggests that true equality is not a matter of one side winning and the other losing, but is built on mutual respect and understanding. The work challenges prolonged stereotypes and fixated gender roles, which often limit our freedom and personal growth. Rather than targeting any particular group, it calls for the dismantling of the assumptions that divide people. It also rejects stigma and extreme opposition, emphasizing that healthy relationships should be grounded in coexistence, support, and mutual recognition. The overall tone of the image is calm and steady, reflecting an ideal state of balance. Each person is an individual, not defined by gender. Equality means allowing everyone to be seen, respected, and free to grow without labels.

Brain Rot

Outstanding Design

Contestants: TANG TSZ YAU, LEUNG HAU TING
School: Pope Paul VI College

Artwork description

This work examines a subtle yet growing condition in the digital age—often described as “brain rot”—shaped by AI and short-form content. Constant exposure to fast, fragmented, and low-quality information weakens attention span, reduces depth of thought, and creates resistance to complex ideas. At the same time, AI-generated misinformation and conspiracy content blur the line between truth and falsehood, further affecting judgment. The composition visualizes this shift through contrast. On the left, chaotic colors surround a figure absorbed in an overwhelming stream of information, symbolizing passive thinking and a loss of clarity. After a moment of awakening, the figure breaks a disc representing control, triggering a transition to an open sky and sea, which symbolizes freedom, clarity, and independence. While AI can influence and overwhelm, it can also be consciously managed. We would like to call for critical thinking, self-awareness, and intentional choice. Individuals should actively shape their relationship with technology rather than be controlled by it.

The Stolen Confidence

Outstanding Design

Contestants: CHU WING YIN, YIK TAN CHING, FAN TSZ LING, YU YAN TUNG
School: Pope Paul VI College

Artwork description

This work is set in the everyday reality of the post-pandemic world, exploring teenagers’ struggles with appearance anxiety and self-identity. At the central is a girl who has long hidden behind a mask, not only for protection but as a barrier shaped by insecurity. Her expression reveals quiet sadness and isolation, as her true self remains concealed. In her mind, images of cosmetics and beauty standards emerge, suggesting layers of constructed identity imposed by external expectations. The piece reflects how young people today are often influenced by social norms and constant scrutiny, leading them to fixate on perceived flaws and measure their worth through appearance. This pressure can result in anxiety, self-doubt, and a loss of authenticity. By highlighting this inner conflict, the work encourages viewers to reconsider the value of individuality. It suggests that true confidence comes from accepting imperfection, rejecting imposed standards, and embracing one’s unique identity with honesty and courage.

The Lost Childhood

Outstanding Design

Contestants: CHAN HO SHEUNG
School: Pope Paul VI College

Artwork description

This work reflects on how childhood joy and human connection have changed in a technology-driven world. In the past, simple games and genuine companionship, such as playing in a schoolyard or sharing quiet moments, were enough to bring happiness and create lasting memories. As technology advances, however, material life has become richer while screens increasingly dominate daily attention, reducing face-to-face interaction and weakening personal relationships. The central image of a claw machine portrays a tired woman after work, reaching for colorful objects inside, symbolizing the longing to reclaim childhood innocence and happiness, yet repeatedly failing. Inside the machine are warm and vivid memories, while the outside world appears cold and oppressive, creating a strong contrast. The unstable claw suggests how difficult it becomes to grasp joy in adulthood. Surrounded by phones and computers as symbols of pressure, the work reminds viewers that true happiness lies not within screens, but in real connection and shared human experiences.

Modern Feminism and Chinese Culture

Outstanding Design

Contestants: YOU YING, LI ZIYOU, HE YUTONG, YAN LI LING
School: Salvation Army William Booth Secondary School

Artwork description

This work examines the evolution of women’s clothing to explore the relationship between historical change and the rise of women’s status. From the structured robes of the Qin and Han dynasties to the layered garments of the Tang and Song periods, clothing reflected strict social norms that restricted not only the body but also women’s freedom and choices. With the emergence of the qipao in the early modern era, women gradually began to break free and express individuality. Today, fashion has become diverse, from traditional attire to modern styles and professional uniforms, symbolizing greater freedom in identity and career paths. At the centre stands Hong Kong’s first female astronaut, Lai Ka Ying, representing progress and possibility. Yet despite these advances, women still face pressure and bias in everyday life. The work calls for greater awareness, understanding, and respect, advocating a future where every woman can grow freely with dignity and equality.

In a Digital Age

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LIANG XIANGYU, JANNAKON TANCHANOK, LONG PO NI, LEIN SIN TING
School: Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School

Artwork description

This work features a glowing digital river at its centre, symbolizing the flow of time and technological transformation, dividing the scene into two eras. On the left, the 1990s are depicted in warm yellow tones: a student reads a printed book in a quiet library, while bicycles and a phone booth outside evoke a slower, more grounded lifestyle. In contrast, the right side represents the 2020s in cool blue hues, where a figure is surrounded by smartphones and computers, with AI interfaces constantly appearing, reflecting the rapid pace of information exchange. Visual details such as pen versus stylus, printed photographs versus AI-generated images highlight how technology reshapes memory and communication. The background city shifts from low-rise buildings to skyscrapers and neon lights, reinforcing the sense of transition. Rather than judging progress, the work raises questions about what may be lost authenticity, presence, and sense of fulfilment as technology evolves. The floating phrase “Gen Our Voice” invites viewers to reconsider their place within this digital flow.

Live under the Light

Outstanding Design

Contestants: DENG HIU TUNG, LIU FUN FUN, TANG HEI YI, LAM YU CHING
School: Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School

Artwork description

This work draws attention to the growing prevalence of mental health challenges, particularly among students who face pressure from academics, family expectations, and social relationships. The composition uses strong contrasts of light and shadow to reflect inner emotional states: one side suggests anxiety and isolation, while the other represents hope and the possibility of change. This contrast captures the struggle between feeling overwhelmed and reaching out for support. The piece highlights common sources of stress, including peer pressure, heavy workloads, and self-doubt, all of which can lead to emotional suppression and a sense of helplessness. Rather than presenting stress as an endpoint, the work frames it as a process that requires understanding and care. It emphasizes that growth begins with acknowledging one’s emotions, seeking support, and learning self-acceptance. A greater awareness of mental health is necessary. Speak up and connect with others is a meaningful step toward mental wellness.

The Lost Reality

Outstanding Design

Contestants: LEUNG NGO YIN
School: Holy Trinity College

Artwork description

This work focuses on family relationships, exploring how modern digital life reshapes human connection. The image is divided into two mirrored halves within the same space. On the left, warm tones depict a family gathered around the table, sharing conversation and time together, symbolizing genuine closeness and emotional connection. On the right, the palette shifts to cold grey-blue, where family members sit together yet remain absorbed in their phones and screens, creating a sense of distance and isolation. Details further reinforce this contrast: their eyes are replaced by social media “like” icons, suggesting how virtual validation begins to shape identity, while the food on the table loses its colour, reflecting a fading awareness of real-life experiences. Even a baby holds a phone, implying that digital dependence spans generations. We should reflect on whether constant online engagement is causing the loss of authentic connection, return to presence, communication, and shared moments in everyday life.

His Paintbrush

Participation Design

Contestants: AU SHUK WUN
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

Ming comes from a rural area and possesses a pure love for painting, yet he repeatedly faces criticism and rejection during along the way to pursue his dream, reflecting the pressure and doubt many young people experience on their path to adulthood. Faced with external doubts, Ming does not give up, but transforms criticism into motivation. He stands up again after each setback to continue exploring and expressing himself. Even when his work is rejected and his canvas is torn, he persists in creating, symbolizing the courage and resilience needed to pursue dreams. The work transforms digital technology into a tool for expressing emotions and thoughts, demonstrating that AI does not cheapen art, but rather provides more possibilities for creation. The work aims to convey that true value lies not in the tools, but in the creator's belief and perseverance. AI does not replace humanity, but extends the power of imagination and dreams, allowing more people to bravely pursue their own paths.

Bite the Bullet

Participation Design

Contestants: TSAI TSZ CHING, LI HOI YAU, XU SZE WING
School: HKMA KS Lo College

Artwork description

This work centers on campus life, portraying a student’s emotional journey from discouragement to renewal. The key visual element is the gradual shift in color, transitioning from cool to warm tones to reflect changes in inner state. The opening stage uses cold hues to express the weight of academic pressure, capturing feelings of fatigue, confusion, and constraint. In the middle section, subtle changes in color and movement show the figure beginning to rise, symbolizing the effort to move forward and seek a way out. By the final stage, the scene becomes warm and luminous, with the figure standing upright, representing regained confidence and hope. The work emphasizes that emotional struggle is not an endpoint, but part of growth. It highlights that feelings of stress and uncertainty are common experiences. With self-awareness, persistence, and support from others, individuals can gradually overcome challenges, rebuild themselves, and move forward with strength and resilience.

What is Gender Equality?

Participation Design

Contestants: QIU TIK SAI, YAU YAU YVONNE, LEE WAI YIN, VIROJWAN CHUDCHADA
School: Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School

Artwork description

A balance scale is the main symbol, representing justice, fairness, and the relationship between rights and opportunities. On either side of the scale stand men, women, and diverse groups, emphasizing that true equality is not about opposition, but about ensuring respect and value across different backgrounds. Surrounding the scale are four sections representing education, workplace, leadership, and family. In the educational scene, individuals learn and create together, challenging traditional gender divisions. The workplace highlights fair pay and inclusive leadership, addressing ongoing gender disparities. The family section presents diverse structures, suggesting that families should be built on care and responsibility rather than fixed models. Through these layered images, the work conveys that gender equality is not simply an idea, but a value that must be practiced in everyday life. When balance is achieved across these areas, society can become more stable, inclusive, and capable of moving toward a truly fair future.

What Do We Do When AI Comes?

Participation Design

Contestants: KAN KA WAI, CHEUNG LOK YING
School: Jockey Club Man Kwan EduYoung College

Artwork description

This work addresses the impact of artificial intelligence on future employment, responding to the anxiety among Hong Kong students about being replaced by AI. The concept is structured around three key ideas: disappearing jobs, human–machine collaboration, and essential future skills, presented through a cartoon-style poster to make the topic more accessible and reassuring. In the image, uniformed students interact with robots, analyzing data and working side by side, symbolizing a future of coexistence rather than replacement. Dialogue elements emphasize the human role, noting that teachers guide AI in understanding the human world, highlighting the importance of emotion, values, and empathy. The lower section outlines four key competencies: AI literacy, empathy, lifelong learning, and the ability to solve complex problems. The work suggests that AI is not a threat but a tool, and that the future ultimately depends on how humans choose to apply technology and develop their own unique strengths.

sophia and friends

Participation Design

Contestants: YIP CHING
School: Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College

Artwork description

sophia and friends explores the growing alienation between people in the digital age. While social media facilitates more frequent communication, we feel stronger sense of alienation when getting along with people. Many introverted or new students are more likely to be marginalised. The work combines Buddhist concepts of "letting go of attachments" and "compassion" to reflect on whether people neglect the emotional needs of others in their pursuit of perfection. The story centres on Sophia's birthday party. When her cake accidentally falls on the ground, she experiences "impermanence", but instead of clinging to loss, she and her friends support each other and accepts imperfection. In this moment, failure transforms into connection, embodying the purest human warmth. The artwork visualizes emotions, demonstrating that technology can also be a medium for conveying kindness. We aim to remind viewers to slow down while pursuing efficiency, to pay empathetic attention to those around them, and to let kindness and warmth flow in everyday life.
