Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration Joint Prize Presentation Ceremony 2023/24
The Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (OFNAA) organised many activities in year 2023/24 to enhance youngsters' understanding of the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance (Cap. 390) (COIAO) and to encourage them to stay away from objectionable materials and cultivate the right values. On 14 July 2024, OFNAA held a joint prize presentation ceremony for three competitions at Kwai Fong Community Hall, to honor student’s achievements and parents support to our events.
Mr Chris Fung, the Assistant Director of Film, Newspaper and Article Administration, speaking at the joint prize presentation ceremony
At his welcome speech given at the prize presentation ceremony, the Assistant Director of Film, Newspaper and Article Administration, Mr Chris Fung, said that while the fascinating cyber world could help young people obtain useful information, there was a myriad of objectionable materials featuring violence, sex, obscenity and indecency. Particularly, he pointed out that as young people have got into the habit of using emerging platforms such as video streaming platforms, video sharing platforms, and social media in recent years, chances are that they may have access to obscene and indecent materials through these platforms and be influenced by the distorted values. Sharing of such materials online may also be in breach of the COIAO. Mr Fung stressed that OFNAA has been adopting a multi-pronged approach, including co-operation with the relevant sectors, to keep young people away from the harmful effects of online obscene and indecent materials, while helping them to develop a positive attitude towards the use of the Internet.
The first prizes to be presented was from “Healthy Four-Frame-Photo Competition”, there were two entry groups for the competition, Parent-Child Group for Primary 4 to Primary 6 students and their parents and Secondary School Group for Secondary 1 to Secondary 6 students. Contestants were required to tell a story on saying no to objectionable materials through photos. Each group had a champion, a first runner-up, a second runner-up, and five merit award winners. An award was also given to the secondary and primary school group each with the largest number of participants. The list of the winners is set out in Annex 1.
