The top two senior level scorers of the local contest will be given an all-expenses paid trip to Canada to take part in Stage 2 of the Competition in May this year at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. The week-long event will include seminars, a contest as well as extra-curricular activities. The Hong Kong students will be able to enjoy the opportunity to interact with the top 20 competitors from Canada.
All participants who attended the Hong Kong contest will receive a Certificate of Participation, and those who score 60 out of 75 will be awarded a Certificate of Merit.
