Invitation for Entry

The 2013 Hong Kong Mid–Autumn Festival – Lantern Wonderland Design Competition is organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and supported by the Hong Kong Designers Association (HKDA), the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA) and the Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design (HKAoD), collectively “the Organiser and the Supporting Organisations”). The Organiser and the Supporting Organisations would like to invite design for lantern to serve as anchor attraction during the 2013 Hong Kong Mid-Autumn Festival (hereunder “the Festival”) by way of an open competition (hereunder “Competition”). Participation in the Competition constitutes acceptance and agreement to the rules set out in this invitation. Background Among the many traditional Chinese festivals celebrated in this global capital of Chinese festivals, Mid-Autumn Festival has been one of the most important Chinese festivals when families get together to celebrate good harvest by enjoying a big meal and appreciate the full moon. While local residents enjoy festive food and play with colourful lanterns, overseas visitors often lack the means to participate in this festive celebration. The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) therefore rallied support from different parties to open up opportunities and lengthen the celebrations for visitors to celebrate the festival like local residents. As part of our Asia’s World City campaign, the HKTB will organise a “Hong Kong Mid-Autumn Festival” from 14 – 22 September 2013, to further promote our traditional festival to our overseas visitors. In a bid to offer the cream of festive programmes to both local residents and overseas visitors, HKTB will work with Leisure & Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and further enhance their lantern carnival into an all-in-one mega event at the heart of the city in Victoria Park, Causeway Bay. Lantern Wonderland, a giant lantern will be established at the Park as a centerpiece of this mega event. This very special element will be created through a design competition, organised by HKTB and supported by HKDA, HKIA and HKAoD.
