This year's Harvard Club of Hong Kong Schools Book Prize is now open to all secondary schools in Hong Kong.
Each school that applies can choose three outstanding students who will win a prize. The students will be invited to attend a special ceremony to receive their prizes.
Launched in 1910, the award was established to attract talented young people to Harvard University in the US.
The Book Prize now attracts about 1,700 schools from all over the world.
Schools set their own criteria - academic achievement, language skills or improvement - to select a winner and two runner-ups from the second-to-last-year classes: Form 6, Year 12 (in a 13-year system), Grade 11 (in a 12-year system) or high school junior.
The Book Prize was first awarded in Hong Kong three years ago. Last year, 140 schools nominated students.
