The Jumping Fence Design Competition organised by the Equestrian Company has received 2,093 entries.

 

Among them, 1,740 entries were for the junior section, which was open to people aged 16 or below. There were 270 in the senior and 83 in the professional categories.

 

A panel of judges will short-list 60 entries at an initial selection process tomorrow.

 

Cash prizes of $10,000, $8,000 and $5,000 will be awarded to the top three place-getters in each of the three categories.

 

The selected works will be displayed on March 27 in Kowloon Park to commemorate the 500-day countdown to the 2008 Olympics, which will start on August 8 next year.
