“Innovative Water Efficient Showerhead Design Competition” Briefing Sessions
The Water Supplies Department organises the "Innovative Water Efficient Showerhead Design Competition" in partnership with the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, which aims to promote water saving devices and raise public awareness on the importance of water conservation, as well as encourage young generations to unleash their creativity and develop their ambitions in design by gathering innovative showerhead designs through the competition.
To introduce and elaborate the competition mechanism and assessment criteria of entries to interested parties, two briefing sessions were held at INDEX, Kwun Tong on 16 December 2019 and 18 January 2020 respectively.
Targeting potential participants of "Professional Section", the first briefing session was well attended by many industry practitioners and corporate representatives.
