Bun Scrambling Competition

The Bun Scrambling Competition comprises three stages, namely training, Selection Contest and the Final. Members of the public aged 18 or above who are in good health and physical condition may enroll. Persons interested in participating in the competition should complete SmartPLAY user registration and identity authentication, and submit their electronic ballot applications via the SmartPLAY website (www.smartplay.lcsd.gov.hk/home), the mobile app (My SmartPLAY) or Smart Self-service Stations from 23 February to 6 March 2026. The Competition is capped at 200 participants. All places will be allocated by ballot via SmartPLAY. Applicants who live, work or study at Cheung Chau will be accorded priority in the ballot.

Only participants who have completed the safety training sessions on bun tower climbing and fall prevention, to be held on 12 April 2026 (Sunday), will be eligible to take part in the Selection Contest on 26 April 2026 (Sunday). The Selection Contest will be conducted in two rounds. The 24 contestants finishing the Preliminary Round in the fastest time, including no fewer than 6 female participants, will advance to the Semi-final to be held on the same day. From there, they will compete for the 12 places in the Final, which must include at least 3 female finalists.

The Final will be held from 11:30 pm on 24 May 2026 (Sunday) to 12:45 am on 25 May (Monday) at the soccer pitch of Pak Tai Temple Playground on Cheung Chau. The 12 male and female finalists will compete to collect buns from the bun tower within a time limit, earning points based on each bun’s location. The one who has the highest total score wins, while the one who bags the most buns within the time limit will receive the “Full Pockets of Lucky Buns” award.

Since 2016, to recognise outstanding achievements and add to the atmosphere of the event, any individual who has won the championship in any three editions of the Bun Scrambling Competition will be awarded the honorary title of “King of Kings” or “Queen of Queens”.
