The design-a-tiger-mascot competition at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has received 180 high-quality submissions from more than 150 students, staff and alumni, showcasing the creativity of the CityU community. The competition aimed to engage the CityU community in the creation of a fresh mascot for the University. Creative elements from the winning entries will be drawn on to inspire the creation of the CityU mascot, the design of which will be completed very soon.

A student from the Department of Marketing has been named the winner for her bold use of colours in her multi-element tiger mascot.

The entries used a range of techniques to revamp the traditional image of the tiger in keeping with the quality of technology and creativity found at CityU.

CityU is as wise, vital and vigorous as a tiger; and like a tiger, we are strong and pro-active, traits evident in the forward-looking way that we pursue excellence in education and research.
