Introduction and Awards
Introduction
The "2024/25 Meritorious Websites Contest" is organised by the Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (OFNAA). The co-organisers include the Education Bureau, the Committee on Home-School Co-operation, the Hong Kong Internet Service Providers Association and the Radio Television Hong Kong. The objective of the contests is to encourage young people to browse healthy websites.
The contests are conducted under the slogan "Surf smartly. Spend our time wisely", we encourage young people to develop good surfing habit. In view of the spawning objectionable materials on the Internet, the organising committee hopes to stress on "Say no to objectionable materials. Browse healthy websites" and recognise the contributions of healthy websites producers and Apps developers.
Lots of information and entertainment can be found online, thus we should be discerning and maintain self-discipline when surfing the Internet. Whether or not the Internet is beneficial hinges on whether we have good surfing habit. Are you taking control of the computer mouse or is it taking control of you? May your mouse bring you healthy information!
Note: "Meritorious Websites Contest" and "Healthy Mobile Phone/Tablet Apps Contest" are the publicity and public education activities of OFNAA for promoting the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance.
