The AnAn International Educational Foundation Hong Kong opened its doors to a musical contest for the autistic talents in Asia with a knack for singing, dancing, or playing musical instruments. Participants from all over Asia -- 79 in all -- joined, uploaded their videos and received votes from the advocates from all over.
The entries were trimmed to 19 finalists who travelled to Hong Kong to participate at the Autistic Talent Gala 2015 at the Academy of the Performing Arts in Wan Chai, Hong Kong on 18 December 2015. Ten countries -- China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan -- competed in Group and Individual Categories.
