A WOMAN yelling at her husband, a girl shouting at her brother, another girl banging on the door and an old man holding a peeled banana - these are scenes from Privacy?, one of the winning entries in the 'Privacy Protection in Action: TV Advertisement Competition'.
Jointly organised by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data and the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, the competition required participants to produce a one-minute TV advertisement that aims to raise awareness of privacy among young people.
Winners of the secondary school category and the open category displayed creativity and a great sense of humour in spreading the message about privacy protection.
Three sixth formers from Buddhist Wong Wan Tin College won the secondary school category with their advert Privacy?, while four Year 2 journalism students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong won the open category.
Each winning team was awarded a notebook computer, a $5,000 scholarship and a certificate.
'My first impression is that the entries in the secondary school category are as good as those in the open category,' said one of the judges, Dr Francis Cheung Wing-ming, registrar of the Hong Kong Institute of Education.
'All final entries reflect the creativity of the new Hong Kong generation and a good understanding of the concept of privacy protection.'
