The Result Announcement of the 11th English Radio Drama Competition
Posted by Smart Education Charitable Foundation. (May 15, 2019)

The Final and Prize-giving Ceremony of the 11^th English Radio Drama Competition for Schools, organized by Smart Education Charitable Foundation and sponsored by SCOLAR, was successfully held at the Chiang Chen Studio Theatre of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on May 11, 2019.

This year, our themes are "Grit" and "S.O.S.". Students have had the opportunity to reflect on the commendable qualities of both individual and collective grit, tenacity, perseverance, as well as equanimity and composure in the face of danger, which essentially translate to fearlessness and solidarity in both daily lives and survival situations.

11 teams (chosen from over 200 teams in the previous rounds of the competition) performed their radio drama LIVE in front of our judges and audience in the Final. Our judges were very impressed with each team’s excellent performance, as they all showcased their teamwork and creativity. We are pleased to announce that the winner in the Primary Section of the English Radio Drama Competition is Pui Ching Primary School; and the winner in the Secondary Section is St. Paul’s Secondary School.

We hope that all of you have enjoyed the 11th English Radio Drama Competition for Schools, and look forward to your active participation again next year. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors for their generosity.
