Explain one anti-scam message in 45–60 seconds. Secondary 1–6 students need school nomination in teams of 2–4; check subtitles, originality and AI disclosure before filming.

School-nominated teams, not an adult open category

The Communications Authority’s “Let’s Join Hands to Fight Phone Scams” reel competition is for Hong Kong Secondary 1–6 students. Each school may nominate up to two teams of 2–4 students, with one entry per team. By noon Hong Kong time on 7 December 2026, upload the reel and email OFCA the entry form and accessible video link; OFCA’s receipt time determines acceptance. Reels must run 45–60 seconds in 1080p MP4, in Chinese or English with subtitles; 16:9 is recommended. Include an anti-scam slogan of no more than 20 Chinese characters or English words. Entries must be original, never publicly broadcast or entered in another competition. Role-play performers must attend participating schools, and AI-generated materials require clear in-video subtitle disclosure. Read the official site for full eligibility, rights and submission rules.

Our practical suggestions

Make one protective action clear

Our suggestion: start with a familiar situation, such as a message impersonating an organisation. Set out what happens, what to pause and where to verify, then explain it in a few shots. Check the message, obtain filming consent and exclude real personal details or suspicious links. Ask classmates watching a test screening to name the one action they would take.

Connect youth creativity with community needs

Queensway’s Community Development area encourages communication and collaboration grounded in community needs. Members can exchange ideas with young people about explaining information clearly. Queensway is not the competition organiser or nominating body and does not handle entries; adult members cannot enter as secondary-school students.
