Macau students are being urged to submit applications to act as volunteers during next year's Beijing Olympics and Paralympic Games.
There will be about 70,000 volunteers at the Olympics and another 30,000 at the Paralympics.
An advertising campaign was launched in Macau last week in an effort to encourage students to apply.
Volunteers must hold a Macau SAR identity card, Macau passport or mainland travel permit in order to be eligible. They must be born on or before June 30, 1990, and be in good health.
An Olympic spokesman said the majority of volunteers would be recruited from schools and colleges in Beijing, but that people were also being sought from Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
'Volunteers are the real image ambassadors of Olympics, representing Olympic spirit,' he said.
