3) Submission of the final results to Dear Hong Kong in a word document

We have:
- Information about the project
- English language profiles of remarkable Hong Kongers

If you have prior experience working as a translator and Chinese language copywriter - this will be very highly regarded

Your work will become part of our flagship book that will directly reach out into the Hong Kong community and spread an appreciation of diversity.
