The prize was established to inspire students of Hong Kong to see the promise and possibilities of science. It is open to all enrolled secondary school students in the city, who can take part by being nominated by their teachers. Students who receive nominations are encouraged to submit up to three artworks online before the submission deadline.

The winner of the hk prize will be announced at a ceremony held in November. The winner will receive a cheque for the winning amount. In addition, the winner will have the opportunity to attend a masterclass with renowned artist and Hong Kong art collector Yueyang Liu.

Hong Kong Jockey Club chief executive Winson Lee said that the award aims to encourage Hong Kong’s young people to embrace science and recognise its importance in society. He also praised the prize’s founder, Run Run Shaw, who was a philanthropist who made significant contributions to fostering the development of Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology hub.

Winners of the HK Prize will be awarded a trophy and a certificate. They will be invited to a special award ceremony held in Hong Kong. The organisers of the event will provide accommodation and meals for the winners and their guests.

A total of HK$2 million will be offered to the winners. The first prize will be HK$400,000, while the second prize will be HK$200,000. The third prize will be HK$80,000, and the fourth prize will be HK$30,000. There are also a number of consolation prizes.

In a press release, the HK Prize organisers explained that this year’s theme was “Honour and Disgrace: The Historical Development of China and Hong Kong in the Past Century”. They stressed that the competition is aimed at encouraging students to do more research on Hong Kong history and to explore its unique historical status. They are also encouraged to express their views on Hong Kong’s future and its relations with the mainland.

This year’s contest attracted more than 2,000 entries. The winning entries were selected based on the relevance of the theme, systematic use of collected materials, objectivity in analysis and citation of sources. Winners of the written report competition were selected for face-to-face interviews. The top three winning teams were Wong Shiu Chi Secondary School, Tak Oi Secondary School and Carmel Pak U Secondary School.

The organisers of this prestigious prize say it is designed to give Hong Kong’s emerging talent the chance to showcase their skills, and to help them develop their career potential. It also helps Hong Kong’s international development efforts and promotes the city as a global business hub.

The HK Prize was established by a group of Hong Kong business leaders and academics in 2012 to encourage young people in the city to excel in their studies and pursue excellence in different fields. Winners will be recognised for their outstanding achievements, and their work will be exhibited in a gallery exhibition.
