Yiding Song (2nd from the right) received his trophy from Ms Emily Lau Wai-hing, JP, along with his fellow GOLD Award winners.
Happy news from the 2017/18 Hong Kong Budding Poets (English) Award - our poetic boy Yiding Song 6C was awarded a GOLD Award for his poem "Curse of Existence", under his chosen theme "Me, the Earth, the Universe", at the Hang Seng Management College this afternoon.

Yiding was among the four prestigious GOLD Awardees, followed by 4 SILVER, 4 BRONZE and 8 Honourable Mention awards in the primary school category.

This competition is co-organised by EDB and Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education. We regard it as one of the top poetry contests in Hong Kong for children as they attract esteemed schools to take part every year, producing excellent poems. We are very proud that we have been having an awardee for a few years in a row and this time, Yiding even earned the top prize! Congratulations! See his live performance of his poem below:

To double the happiness, students from YWC, Vincent Cheng (S.3) and Matt Leung (S.2) received their GOLD and SILVER Awards respectively in the ceremony. Both of them graduated from YWPS and Matt, like Yiding, was in the P.6 enhancement class before he graduated!

Principal Cheng of YWC also attended the ceremony and was kind enough to ask for a happy selfie!
All the awarded pieces will be anthologized in the association's publication soon. Visit here to see our past and current awardees and their awarded poems, including Yiding's winning piece.

Congratulations to all again and let's keep our poetry achievements as a tradition!

It is my honor to be able to participate in this poetry contest...
As well as being the first one to comment on this post. Yep. Definitely.

First of all, I would really like to thank Dr. Lee for allowing me to enter this competition, for him giving me priceless comments on how to perfect my piece, and lastly, for all the things he had taught me that helped me write the poem. I would also like to thank all the teachers that had taught me before. Their teachings all counted toward my award today. I would like to thank my classmates, too, for their support and encouragement, and for all their criticism and remarks. Without them, I couldn't have written so well. That's a fact. An unchangeable one.

I'm glad that I can receive the award. Oops, am I saying cliché? Sorry! Changing channel...

Getting the award, participating in the competition and bringing glory to the school (I hope I did) was a great experience. But I'm starting to wonder why it was all girls standing next to me when I got the prize. Maybe their language skills are better? I don't know. I just hope that next year, more students from Ying Wa Primary School can get an award.

Let's hope for next year's results, shall we?
