The hongkong prize is one of the most prominent awards in Asia and attracts thousands of applicants each year. It rewards people who have accomplished incredible things that make an impactful statement of excellence about life in Hong Kong and across Asia. In addition to monetary prizes, winners receive access to Hong Kong’s premier research facilities. Some finalists have even risked their lives for their work. Some notable HK Prize winners include the founder of an organization that provides shelter for homeless adults and a doctor who developed liquid biopsy.

The Newspaper Society of Hong Kong organized this year’s competition, which received a total of 617 entries from Chinese and English-language newspapers in the city. China Daily emerged victorious this year for its article detailing problems caused by cut-rate tour operators. Other winning articles focused on the city’s development and other topics of interest to Hong Kong residents.

For the second consecutive year, China Daily won four of five top prizes at the News Awards. Senior reporter Kate Li Bingcun won first prize in the Arts and Culture category for her three-piece culture series that focuses on the city’s endeavor to become an international cultural hub. The paper’s business team also did well, with reporter Zhou Mo and editors Luo Weiteng and Chai Hua jointly winning first runner-up for their combined series on the retail revolution.

In the Science News Reporting category, reporter Honey Tsang won a top prize for her “Global Warning” series that examined how climate change has silently hurt us all. She beat the competition by a wide margin, beating nine other stories in her category and eight of the 12 overall entries.
