To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the passing of Hans Christian Andersen (2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875), renowned for his fairy tales such as The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid, and The Little Match Girl, the Department of English of The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong launched a series of creative competitions to HSU students and the community, including the short story writing competition, poetry writing competition, art illustration competition, and video storytelling competition.
