About the event

Delftware is blue and white pottery that has been produced in the picturesque city of Delft since the Sixteenth Century. Delftware includes pottery objects of all descriptions such as plates, ornaments, and tiles. Students of different ages may experience what it is like to paint Delftware in Hong Kong and create a tile of their own in this competition. Besides winning fabulous prizes, outstanding works will be exhibited at Kornhill Plaza.
The competition is open to secondary school students, primary school students, and kindergarteners and has three respective divisions.
