The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUSCS) will celebrate its 60th Anniversary in 2025. In order to mark this significant milestone, the School will host a "60th Anniversary Logo and Slogan Design Competition".

A 60-year cycle in the Chinese calendar, Jiazi甲子, has a special meaning. "Jiazi" symbolizes the end of a cycle, yet, it also marks the beginning of a new milestone. For six decades, CUSCS has been dedicated to serving the community and providing quality continuing and professional education in response to the fast-changing needs of Hong Kong and other parts of the world. Looking forward, CUSCS will continue to uphold its mission in enriching the lifelong learning journey of the general public, while proactively promoting health and well-being in the community, and professionally helping those in need through education and the talents we nurture.

The School sincerely invites its students, alumni and staff, as well as members of the public to take part in the competition, in order to express CUSCS's mission and goals by designing a logo and a bilingual slogan (in Chinese and English). The winning logo design and slogan may be widely displayed at celebratory events and applied in related promotional materials.
