Take your writing to the next level!

Inspiring Hong Kong Secondary students in their English writing

Great games and great stories go hand in hand. The games that bring us hours of enjoyment contain stories told in ways that must immerse, engage, inspire, and amaze audiences like no other media can. But those stories need writers...


Could you be the next video game writer the world is waiting for? 


'From Player to Page' is a competition designed to encourage talented young writers of English to compose works that are written for, inspired by or derived from videogames. We hope to reveal the academic talent of the player, and commit it to the page.

Become more than the Player...

Competitions are not only a time to reward our best; they are an opportunity to inspire everyone to aim higher, try harder and do better. 

Some students feel like their enjoyment of gaming must be kept separate and apart from their schooling. However, by bridging the divide between the two, 'From Player to Page' can bring out the creativity and flair of a great many more students.
