On August 30, 2024, the award ceremony for the “Facing Bullying, Embracing LOVE” Mascot Design Competition 2024 was held at the Moreton Terrace Activities Centre Hall. Students, teachers, and parents from participating schools attended the event, witnessing this meaningful occasion together.

The awards presented on the day included the champion, first runner-up, and second runner-up for both primary and secondary school categories, as well as the “Most Creative Award”, “Most Popular Mascot Award”, and the “Love & Embrace” Grand Award. The “Most Popular Mascot Award” was determined by a combination of judges’ selection and public voting. Notably, the “Love & Embrace” Grand Award and the champion works from both primary and secondary school categories were produced and showcased at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong in late July, receiving enthusiastic responses from the audience. These mascots have also become ambassadors for the Inspire Education Association’s anti-bullying campaign!
