The competition is an attempt to awake public awareness of `Social Responsibility` through the concept of `General Education` by conducting a `Visual Arts' Creative Competition` to all Primary and Secondary Students in Hong Kong. Using Tsunami and Pakistan earthquakes as a platform, the competition would like to engage more students on their continuous support to international relief and development effort, to change their perception towards how they see the world and identify their HERO who touches their heart in this chaotic world.
