We invite you to join the Short Essay Writing Competition for Hong Kong Secondary School Students 2026!
誠邀你們參加全港中學生徵文比賽2026！

Organised by the Department of English and Communication, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, this annual competition aims to inspire creativity, communication skills, and a passion for writing among Hong Kong secondary school students.

This year's theme, “Fables for the AI Era”, invites students to reimagine the timeless art of fable-telling. Participants may create a new original fable or reinterpret a classic fable with a contemporary twist. Each entry should express a clear and memorable moral, offering insight into human values in a rapidly changing technological era.

比賽由香港理工大學英文及傳意學系主辦，旨在激發中四及中五學生的創意、表達能力及對寫作的熱誠。

今年的主題為「給AI世代寫的寓言故事」，歡迎學生以寓言形式創作短篇故事——無論是改寫經典寓言，或創作全新的故事皆可。作品須包含清晰的寓意，反思在科技迅速發展的時代中，人類所珍視或重新審視的價值。
