Aiming at strengthening children's understanding of the Expo, a children's drawing competition was held during the Expo from December 24, 1998 to January 2, 1999 under the theme "Today's Hong Kong Products Expo". Co-organized by Sing Tao Daily and sponsored by Luk Ka International Limited, the competition also received support from Sino United Publishing (Holdings) Limited by offering book coupons as prizes for the winners. The competition was divided into two sections: Junior Section (under 8 years old) and Senior Section (8 to 12 years old). The participants were required to draw pictures on the spot between 4 and 6 p.m. during the said period. The 10-day Competition received enthusiastic response from the children with more than 1,200 entries.

For the prizes, the champions and the runners-up of the two sections were awarded a trophy, a gift pack, a cash prize of HK$1,000, $500 and $300, and a book coupon of HK$300, $200 and $100 respectively. Merit prize winners were awarded a certificate and a gift pack each.

At the beginning of the Presentation Ceremony, CMA President Mr Herbert Liang expressed heartfelt gratitude to the co-organizers, sponsors and judges for their huge support and efforts in making the competitions a success.
