To celebrate the 25^th Anniversary of the Establishment of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Hong Kong Science Museum will specially present a large-scale dinosaur exhibition "The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big 8 – Dinosaur Revelation". To complement the exhibition, and provide an educational and fun experience, the Museum is joining hands with the MTR Corporation to organise a drawing competition with the combined theme of dinosaurs and our local culture. The MTR is the main means of public transport in Hong Kong. Apart from taking us around the city every day, it also brings us joy in each travel experience. As one of the most iconic prehistoric animals, dinosaurs once roamed the Earth until their sudden demise. Little-known though, their lives leave us much capacity for imagination. The Museum hopes that students can unleash their creativity and imagination to create unique artworks. All local primary and secondary school students are welcome to join.

This competition is an education programme of " The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big 8 – Dinosaur Revelation" Exhibition.
