The Hongkong Prize is a Great Opportunity for Writers and Artists
Hong Kong Prize is an internationally acclaimed literary competition that draws participants from all over the world. The top ten finalists each receive a cash prize as well as shopping vouchers and F&B perks. The competition is a great way to hone your writing skills and get your name out there. It’s also a good opportunity to network with other writers and learn from them.
The HK Prize was created by Lui Che-woo to recognize individuals who advance world civilisation and inspire others towards building a harmonious society. In addition to monetary prizes, winners may also visit some of the city’s premier research facilities and attend seminars or research internships in universities and laboratories throughout Hong Kong. The latter is a great way to meet scientists from around the world and learn about cutting-edge scientific research that has been conducted in Hong Kong – which has produced many Nobel laureates.
A year-old boy who made headlines for donating hundreds of 3D-printed face shields to hospitals overseas during the coronavirus pandemic has won this year’s Student of the Year Award in Hong Kong. Dylan Fischer from German Swiss International School said he will use the HK$1 million prize money to study socioeconomics at university and contribute to tackling inequality in the city in future. The winner of the award, which is sponsored by Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, was selected by a panel of judges consisting of education and business experts.
The Hongkong Prize Literary Competition is an excellent opportunity for writers from around the world to showcase their talents and build a solid portfolio. The contest is open to both established and emerging writers, and there are numerous categories to choose from. Each category has its own specific requirements, and the judging process is fair and transparent. If you are interested in entering the competition, be sure to read the rules and regulations carefully before submitting your work.
This year’s HK Prize calls on artists to delve into the theme ‘Our Changing World’ and explore how changes in society impact people differently. The artworks shortlisted are a reflection of the diverse and multi-faceted responses by Hong Kong artists to global developments in socially, culturally, economically and technologically.
