What is the Hongkong Prize?

The hongkong prize is an annual competition that recognizes authors who specialize in Asian culture and history. It is one of the most competitive writing competitions in the world and attracts thousands of applicants each year. Winners receive monetary prizes and can present their work at an awards ceremony to gain international exposure. However, it is important to read the rules and regulations carefully before submitting an entry. This will help prevent you from making any mistakes that could disqualify your submission.

The award was established in 1996 by friends and students of the late Professor John D. Young, who shared his passion for local history and belief that a comprehensive knowledge of the past is essential for understanding contemporary Hong Kong. The symbol of the prize, which is also featured on the trophy awarded to winners, juxtaposes a pearl and a pierced jade amulet, suggesting that success in the pursuit of knowledge can be achieved with persistence and wisdom.

Winners will be honoured at an awards ceremony and will receive cash awards and access to Hong Kong research facilities. In addition, they will have the opportunity to present their ideas to stakeholders in the development sector. This is an excellent platform for young researchers to showcase their talent and to make a difference in the lives of others.

If you are interested in applying for the hongkong prize, be sure to consult the official website for more information. The deadline for submission is 31 August 2024. Only principal authors who have been Academy Fellows for the past 10 years may submit. The research article must be published in a scientific journal within the last five years and be related to clinical practice or medical education.
