Winners shared joy and excitement in their participation of the <strong>Writing</strong> <strong>Contest</strong><br />
The annual <strong>CIE</strong> <strong>Writing</strong> <strong>Contest</strong> celebrates works of creative and essay writing that appeal<br />
<strong>to</strong> a larger student population. Moderated by a panel of judges, works are chosen in three<br />
fields: fiction, poetry, and essays. The <strong>to</strong>p three entries in each category will be published<br />
in the <strong>CIE</strong> Literary Journal, as recognition of the contestant's achievements and as a<br />
collection of model student writings that current <strong>CIE</strong> <strong>students</strong> could aspire <strong>to</strong> produce.<br />
The contest is open <strong>to</strong> all AD (Associate Degree) and ADF (Associate Degree Foundation)<br />
<strong>students</strong> of the College of International Education, Hong Kong Baptist University.<br />
This year, there were a <strong>to</strong>tal of 53 entries. The judging panel was composed of Dr. Jason<br />
Polley of HKBU's English Department and Mr. Nick O'Connell of St. Paul's<br />
Co-educational College.
All winning entries will be published in the 2011 <strong>CIE</strong> Literary Journal, which will be<br />
issued at the end of July.<br />
Winners shared joy and excitement in their participation of the <strong>Writing</strong> <strong>Contest</strong>. Lovedip<br />
Singh, an Associate Degree Year 2 (Psychology) student, said that he was motivated <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>write</strong> after being given an opportunity <strong>to</strong> do so during the creative writing workshops. “It<br />
was difficult <strong>to</strong> start with. However, as soon as I got the momentum in getting my s<strong>to</strong>ry, I<br />
started <strong>to</strong> realize how much fun it was <strong>to</strong> manipulate characters in a world which is<br />
completely under my control," said Lovedip.<br />
Annie Qurahtulain, an Associate Degree Year 2 (Marketing) student, said, “Endurance is<br />
one of the things I learnt and developed from the writing contest. I could freely use my<br />
imagination in writing fictional s<strong>to</strong>ries. My mother and brothers are my sources of<br />
inspiration. With them, I will never run out of ideas <strong>to</strong> <strong>write</strong>."<br />
