Photography enthusiasts are invited to join the "Portrait of TVB Artistes and Miss Hong Kong" activity which will be held at 3.30pm on March 9 at Victoria Park in conjunction with the annual spectacular Hong Kong Flower Show in March. The shooting session will last for about an hour.

     The portrait photo shooting activity is jointly organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB).

     Interested participants may enrol in person at any District Leisure Services Offices of the LCSD or recreation and sports venues with Leisure Link Services. They can also enrol through the mobile Leisure Link e-Services System or the Leisure Link website (leisurelink.lcsd.gov.hk) from today (February 28) to March 8. The maximum number of participants is 800. Participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Entry fees are $50 for the normal rate and $25 for full-time students, senior citizens aged 60 or above and persons with disabilities.

     Furthermore, there will be a flower show photo competition. It aims to promote community greening with impressive photographs of flowers and plants on display, interesting or touching scenes captured at the showground, and portraits of TVB artistes and Miss Hong Kong titleholders with gorgeous garden displays as a background.

     The photo competition is divided into three categories. Category A, "Portrait of TVB Artistes and Miss Hong Kong", comprises Open and Student Sections, in which all entrants must enrol in the portrait photo shooting activity to be held at 3.30pm on March 9 at Victoria Park.
 
     It is not necessary to sign up in advance for Category B, "Flowers", and Category C, "Snapshots". However, entrants are required to pay admission fees for taking photographs at the showground during the show period. Photographs must be related to this year's flower show.

     This year's flower show will be held from March 10 to 19 in Victoria Park, featuring the gorgeous and uniquely grown hydrangea as its theme flower, with "Bliss in Bloom" as the theme of the show.

     The flower show is organised by the LCSD. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is supporting the flower show for the 11th consecutive year and has been the major sponsor of the flower show since 2014.
