Their passion for battling it out on the basketball court also fully nourished every fervent basketball soul on the court.

This year's fiercely competitive scene, after head-to-head competition across six major regions of Taiwan, China (Northern Region, Taoyuan-Hsinchu Region, Central Region, Hualien-Taitung Region, Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Region, and Kaohsiung-Pingtung Region), on 5/17 (Sat) at the Banqiao Sports Stadium in New Taipei City, the 'Men's and Women's Group champion and runner-up teams' as well as the 'MVP Most Valuable Player' and 'Best Sportsmanship Player' winners emerged one by one.

For many years, Cathay has continued to hold the "Cathay Dream-Seeking Project" High School 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament precisely in the hope that young students, in addition to striving for progress in their studies, will also go outdoors more to exercise, build up their physical fitness, strive for glory on the court, and become well-rounded new youth excelling in both academics and athletics.

The "Cathay Dream-Seeking Project" High School 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament offers generous prizes, and this year the prize money for each group was increased even further. The prize money for each group from champion to fourth place was NT$120,000, NT$70,000, NT$50,000, and NT$30,000 respectively, while the champion and runner-up teams in each group also have the right to take part in the "Interact with NBA Stars" event held in Taiwan during the summer. Even better, the men's and women's champions can also face off head-to-head with SBL and WSBL players and take on more impossible challenges; in the finals, each group will separately select one 'MVP Most Valuable Player' and one 'Best Sportsmanship Player', who can receive prize money of NT$50,000 and NT$30,000. The prize amounts are so high that they can be called the highest in the country.
