The competition centered on the core themes of “healthy financial management and responsible entertainment”, encouraging creators to use Macau as their background to convey positive values through video, advocate long-term vision and sound financial literacy, and strengthen social responsibility. The goal was to guide young people to express a philosophy of rational living through creative storytelling, to learn planning in real life and responsibility through creation and to be directors of their own lives and masters of their financial future.
After more than two months of preparation, submission collection and preliminary selection, 12 short video entries from different faculties advanced to the final. Representatives from each of the 12 finalist groups took the stage to share their videos, detailing the creative process, highlights, underlying themes and personal reflections. Their sincere sharing and outstanding work drew rounds of applause.
