The National Geographic Channel (NGC) is organising its first English language documentary-making competition.
The channel hopes the competition will motivate and inspire students to see the world from different perspectives.
Students must form teams of two to five members. Each team is required to produce a five- to 10-minute English documentary on a topic that they find stimulating or inspirational.
The documentaries must be based on one of three themes: Nature and Wildlife, Environment and Conservation, and People and Culture.
Over 100 teams of students from more than 40 secondary schools in Hong Kong have signed up for the competition.
'We are delighted to see the large number of documentaries received.
'We want to encourage [students] to bring sensitivity to different communities and the environment,' said Terri Seow, vice-president of marketing at NGC Asia.
