About the Competition

Organiser

The Once Upon A Book Storytelling Competition is organised by the Native-speaking English Teacher (NET) Section, Curriculum Development Institute (CDI), Education Bureau and supported by the Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD).

Aim & Objectives

The aim of the Once Upon A Book Storytelling Competition is to promote reading, as reading extensively provides students with powerful learning opportunities and contributes to whole-person development.

The objectives of the competition are to provide students with the opportunities to:

• explore diverse narratives, characters, ideas, and emotions through reading;
• express themselves freely, confidently, and creatively in English by sharing their passion for reading a book of their choice using a range of storytelling techniques;
• develop their communication skills and creativity through a thoughtful video presentation of a book; and
• cultivate values and attitudes through their engagement with books and storytelling.

The competition is open to primary and secondary school students.

Details will be released on 27 September 2024.
