The winning designs of the Jumping Fence Design Competition are on public display on Thursday.

The exhibition features 75 designs, including the top three in the junior, senior and professional categories. Those winning designs will be used as a source of reference in designing the fences for the jumping discipline in the Olympic Games Equestrian event to be held in Hong Kong in August, 2008.

The winning design in the professional category, by 22-year-old Yeung Chi-hang, a student in the School of Design, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, features a bamboo steamer containing dim sum, a favorite delicacy in teahouses all over China for many centuries.

Top prize in the senior category went to "Flying Horse and Startled Swallow" by Zhang Shuiqi, a 22-year-old student at the Capital University of Economics and Trade.

"Hong Kong - the Gourmet's Paradise" from Leung Hoi-ying, a 15-year-old student in Hong Kong, won the title in junior category.

Jumping is one of the three disciplines in the Olympic Equestrian event. It requires the rider and the horse to clear a series of 10 to 13 obstacles in the prescribed order. The other two disciplines are Dressage and Eventing.
