Organised by the Science Education Promotion Association of Macau and title-sponsored by Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”), the “2026 Macau Astronomy Study Tour & GEG Astronomy Cup – The 2nd Macau (International) Youth Astronomy Competition” successfully concluded with its awards ceremony.
This year’s competition saw an increased participation with attracting over 2,000 students from Macau and overseas. Among them were 550 students from Macau, as well as nearly 70 award-winning students from mainland China who travelled to Macau specifically to join an astronomy-themed study tour.

She emphasized that the competition serves not only as a platform for intellectual competition but also as a vital initiative to deepen the integration of “Tourism + Education.” She also expressed gratitude to GEG for its title sponsorship for the second consecutive year, as well as to all co-organizers and supporting institutions for their invaluable assistance.
