Assessment of Applications

Applicants should submit a written summary of their invention, design, product, activity etc. and justify why their project is sufficiently important to compete for an award. This should be written in both English and Chinese in the appropriate section of the application form. Such information will be used to assess the entry's quality.

The HKSAR Government will form a Judging Panel comprising experts from the relevant fields of science and technology to assess the entries before making nominations to NOSTA for further consideration.

All decisions made by ITC and the Judging Panel will be final and binding in all matters relating to the entries received for the STIA and SSTPA. The eligibility criteria, regulations, assessment criteria and awards are subject to the requirements applicable to the HKSAR as prescribed by NOSTA and the final announcement of NOSTA.
