Short 'Shorts' Competition Merits - Hong Kong

The Native-speaking English Teacher (NET) Section of the Hong Kong Education Bureau would like to thank Ms Xu Xi, Writer-in-Residence with the Department of English at the City University of Hong Kong, for connecting us with the organisers of the Manchester Children's Book Festival (MCBF) and for encouraging students in Hong Kong to share their stories with a wider, international audience. Ms Xu Xi was the head adjudicator of the 'Shorts' 2012 short story writing competition organised by the NET Section.

The NET Section would also like to thank the organisers of the MCBF for giving young writers in Hong Kong this wonderful opportunity to share their stories with an international audience through the Reading and Writing Relay.

Thank you, MCBF!
