Giant Panda Painting Competition

The Central Government gifted another pair of giant pandas to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), fully demonstrating its care and support for the HKSAR. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which makes this gift even more special.

The two giant pandas arrived in Hong Kong on 26 September 2024 and have become new members of our family. To welcome these two giant pandas, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the HKSAR Government is organising the “Giant Panda Painting Competition”, and has appointed Ocean Park Corporation as the co-organiser. We invite everyone to make reference to the photos and videos of the two giant pandas and depict their adorable nature.

Entries will be accepted starting from 21 October 2024, with submission deadline on 8 November 2024, 23:59:59. All Hong Kong residents are welcome to participate, and each person can only submit one entry. Selected participants will receive fabulous prizes. Everyone is welcome to actively participate!

Artworks that do not meet the requirements will not be considered. If there are white edges (except for the design of the artwork), uneven edge cropping, background issues, overexposure, or dim lighting when uploading the photo, scoring will be affected. Participants must retain the original physical artwork for future verification.
