Five students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong have been selected to represent the SAR at the Nokia Arts Awards - Asia Pacific 2000.
The selection was done after a competition with the theme: Playground of Your Imagination.
The competition attracted 50 entries from students aged between 18 and 25. It aimed to encourage young artists to explore the imagination and communicate their ideas through art.
The five selected finalists were fine arts students Tang Siu- nam, Lam Tung-pang, Law Man- lok, Helen Au Hoi-lam, all 21, and Chan Sai-lok, 22.
Ms Au's artwork, Scattering Lightness, was inspired by a dream. She said the canvas was a place, like a playground, which allowed her to visualise and re- organise her dream.
Mr Lam's piece, Something about painting No 1, featured a cloned sheep. He said even though there were ethical concerns about cloning technology, he preferred to take a positive view.
Mr Chan's contribution was Nothing's Good; Nothing's Bad.
