To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme (Revitalisation Scheme), the Commissioner for Heritage’s Office (CHO) of the Development Bureau announced a four-week Instagram photo competition on historic buildings under the Revitalisation Scheme to be held from 5 April to 2 May.
The competition has two award categories, i.e. “Photos of the Week” (40 prizes) and “Best 11 Photos Award” (11 prizes). “Photos of the Week” will be awarded to the 10 most liked photos among photo entries submitted each week. The winners will receive a stamp gift bag themed on Batch I of the Revitalisation Scheme. The “Best 11 Photos Award” will be awarded to the best photo of each of the historic buildings from all photo entries and will be chosen by a panel of judges formed by members of the Advisory Committee on Built Heritage Conservation.
The winners will receive a special prize from the building they have taken a photo of, ranging from free accommodation, courses and workshops to cash coupons. In addition, they will have the chance to participate in a photography exhibition, and the winning entries will be published at various media channels.
