The Hongkong Prize – An Honour That You Shouldn’t Miss Out On

A Hongkong Prize can provide the encouragement, recognition and recognition you need to pursue creative work, arts projects or further studies; greater international visibility through top-tier media coverage and access to an incredible network of potential collaborators – an unparalleled opportunity that should not be passed up!

The Hong Kong Prize is an annual competition that recognizes student excellence both academically and extracurricularly. Winners are celebrated at an awards ceremony where they receive cash prizes as well as access to Hong Kong research facilities, plus they present their ideas directly to key stakeholders within the development sector.

This year’s finalists include activists fighting for freedom and democracy who face imprisonment or other forms of persecution; social justice and community service initiatives (like sheltering homeless adults); as well as individuals that show that Hong Kong remains a place of hope, even during difficult times. All nominees illustrate Hong Kong as an inspiring place.

Researchers from HKUST across all fields of science and technology made record numbers of submissions for this prize – particularly artificial intelligence, life and health, new materials and energy and advanced manufacturing. A panel of judges comprising scientists from universities and industries both locally and overseas selected winners. This prestigious award encourages academic researchers to continue engaging in innovative exploration, establish themselves here in Hong Kong while serving both their nation and world at large.

The Hong Kong Phil is honored and grateful to have won this year’s HK Prize, thanks to our supporters including the Hong Kong SAR Government and Principal Patron, Swire Group; music enthusiasts in Hong Kong and around the globe who voted for us; as well as to those who love classical music who helped vote us into this recognition. We look forward to continuing our work in classical music while spreading more joy through its magic across our community.
