| Selection Procedures |
| The selection of Student
and Open Groups will be held in two
rounds: Preliminary Screening and
Final Judging. The judging panel,
formed by organising committee members, design professionals
and specialists in the industry, will be invited to conduct
the preliminary screening and shortlist the entries. Shortlisted
entrants will then be notified to proceed to the production
of prototypes. All shortlisted entrants will be subsidised of
not more than HK$1,000 for production of prototypes. The final
judging panel will then make the final decision on the awards
for different groups and categories. |

| All entries of the Enterprise Group
will go through one round of judging, without the preliminary
screening. |
