The hongkong prize is one of the most competitive writing contests in the world, and it offers authors a chance to win monetary prizes as well as international exposure. In order to maximize their chances of winning, authors should carefully read the rules and regulations before submitting their work. This will help them avoid making any mistakes that could jeopardize their chances of winning.

This year’s HK Prize nominees include activists fighting for freedom and democracy, young leaders who are working hard to create jobs and support their families, as well as social justice and community service initiatives that are helping people in marginalized communities. The Prize also honors those who have boosted Hong Kong’s global reputation and contributed to its future.

Nine artists made the shortlist this year – a record number since the award was established in 2012. Pakistani artist Sameen Agha won the Grand Prize with her sculpture A Home is Terrible Place to Love, which showed a collapsing house and earned her a $30,000 cash prize and a commission to design a new piece for the Four Seasons hotel in Hong Kong. Other winners included Noormah Jamal, who created an artwork called Did the Seed Grow? that explored honour and disgrace. The art works will be auctioned at a charity event later this year, with proceeds going to SAF’s Make It Better program, which has been offering expressive arts workshops for children from disadvantaged communities in Hong Kong since 2013.

In addition to the monetary prize, the BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize (STIP) offers scientists the opportunity to conduct research at local universities and laboratories, expanding their knowledge and establishing networks with other researchers worldwide. This is an inspiring incentive for scientific researchers and innovators to continue exploring and developing science and technology, establish themselves in Hong Kong, and serve the nation and the world.

The competition is open to residents of Southeast Asia and mainland China. Those interested in entering can visit the World of Winners splash page from March 1 to learn more about the rules and to register their interest. Once the registration period is complete, the winners will be notified by email.
