BEST ADVERTISING/PROMOTIONAL LIVERY 2003

This category was dominated by the "Give Me Five" livery of New World First First, used to celebrate the Company's 5th Anniversary.

Second, third and fourth places were all fairly close, with the "Save Our Seas" liveried Olympian from Buses Model Co eventually taking runner-up spot, closely followed in third place by the original livery applied by KMB to their Mercedes Benz ME class. Fourth was the Brand Hong Kong liveried Citybus Dennis Dragon.

Six people's votes matched that of the overall result, namely Allenby, Donald MacRae, Giles Harvey, Lee Sing Leung, So Wai Kit  and Stephen Mak. These names were put into the hat, with  Lee Sing Leung being drawn as the winner and Giles Harvey as the runner up. All winners and runners-up have been informed.
