Therefore, our student, Ho Man Yiu was nominated for the award. Together with her fashion project, "The Olympics – from the Depths of My Heart", Man Yiu entered the selection. The whole process of the competition lasted for 7 months from April to November. There were altogether 80 entries. The best twenty students (or teams) were invited to present their projects in the "Technology Education Student Achievement Exhibition 2008" and interviewed by the judging panel. Ten from the best twenty students or teams were honoured the award.

The judging panel was fasinated by the beauty, originality and dynamism of Man Yiu's creative fashion work, "The Olympics – from the Depths of My Heart". The creativity, confidence as well as the all-out effort earned Man Yiu evident recognition from the panel of renowned educationalists.
