As the pandemic recedes, life in Hong Kong is gradually returning to normal. The Hong Kong Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes Foundation (SADSHK) aims to encourage everyone to get outside this summer for better physical and mental health. To celebrate the unique beauty of Hong Kong, we are hosting a photography competition themed "Vibrant Hong Kong Opening Up," inviting photography enthusiasts to submit images that showcase the city's vitality.

We welcome submissions that capture Hong Kong's bustling transportation hubs, vibrant streets, stunning landscapes, and the energetic spirit of the city. Share your photos on Facebook to highlight this new beginning for our city and to express our hopes for a healthier and brighter future for Hong Kong.
