Since the local COVID-19 situation in Taiwan has escalated since mid-May, many companies' plans have been thrown into disarray or have become hard to accomplish. Nonetheless, we encourage that you apply for the awards. You may specify your initial plan and some programme evidence before the pandemic time on the application form. We believe the judges will sympathise with your circumstances.

自 5 月中旬，本地疫情日益嚴峻，許多公司的計劃因此被打亂，甚至無法執行。然而，我們仍鼓勵各企業申請獎項，另可在申請表上闡述貴公司原訂計劃或是疫情前有做到的實證，深信評審皆能理解。
