Contestants compete for cash prizes and the chance to participate in an awards ceremony; their works also gain international exposure through this platform. Anyone considering participating should read carefully through all rules before submitting any work; there are strict criteria that must be fulfilled prior to submission.
As well as receiving a financial reward, the winner of the Hong Kong Prize will also receive an internship with its sponsoring company, giving them an inside view into its operations and culture while networking with professionals in writing – an invaluable experience for any aspiring writer!
The Hong Kong Prize is an award that recognizes outstanding works of art and writing from Hong Kong. Established as an incentive for undergraduate and postgraduate students to research various aspects of Hong Kong history, it also promotes awareness about its relevance in Hong Kong’s development.
This year’s HK Prize awarded artists who employ fine art concepts to reinterpret human rights issues through fine art concepts. Winners included Sameen Agha for her sculpture A Home Is a Terrible Place to Love made out of red marble; Michelle Fung used multiple mediums when creating Red Bean Stalk as her winning entry.
As well as receiving a monetary prize, winners of the Hong Kong Prize will gain access to some of Hong Kong’s premier research facilities and seminars. They’ll meet up with fellow researchers from around the globe as well as participate in internships while learning more about cutting-edge scientific research being done here.
This prize is independent and merit-based, recognizing scientific research with social benefits. Open to both local and internationally-acclaimed scholars, selection will be handled by an expert panel free from sponsorship and personal interests; those chosen to receive the HK Prize will be recognized at an awards ceremony hosted annually in Hong Kong.
