Booth Design Competition
The Booth Design Competition has been one of the highlights of the HKPE since its inception. As preceding Expos, this year the Association staged the competition to give recognition to the exhibitors for their outstanding booth designs. To cater for different design requirements of indoor and outdoor booths, the competition was specially divided into Indoor Booth Category and Outdoor Booth Category. CMA invited representatives from seven co-organizers as judges of the competition. They included General Manager of Destination Marketing of Hong Kong Tourism Board Mr Lambert Chan, Head of Design of Hong Kong Trade Development Council Mr Matthew Leung, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Arts Development Council Mr Albert Lam, Vice-Chairman of Young Executives' Sub-committee of The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce Mr Peter Tse, Director of Design Protection Centre of Federation of Hong Kong Industries Mr Liu Kwok Bond, General Manager of Chamber Services of The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce Ms Connie Kwok and Vice Chief Executive of The Hong Kong Chinese Enterprises Association Mr Zhu Shixiong. On December 14, 2002, the judges visited the booths for assessment. Finally, six winners were chosen according to the selection criteria: overall design, product display and integration of booth design with product features for the best effect.
