In additiion to the newly designed online application system for this competition, the judgment methods of participants’ entries were also changed to entries exhibitions from the traditional personal face-to-face judgment, and entries were exhibited to the public immediately after the judgment was made by the jury, thereby keeping in line with national and international science competitions. Winning entries were also subsequently exhibited in various public places in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, sharing the achievement of the competition with the general public in Hong Kong.
