HK Prize
The hk prize is a competition that gives students an opportunity to showcase their ideas about Hong Kong’s role in international development. The prize is funded by Generocity and offers a total of HK$5,000 in prizes for the best ideas. The winner of the hk prize will receive an engraved medal and a cash award. The runner-up will receive a certificate. The hk prize is open to students who are studying at a university in Hong Kong.
This year’s prize money will be increased by 8 per cent, with increases across all classes of racing. Including bonuses, the total prize money will reach an all-time high of HK$1.38 billion for the 2023/24 season. The increase in prize money will help to support the efforts of athletes and horses to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
HKJC’s security and customer service departments will carefully monitor the entire process, from boxing to transportation, with strict checks on all materials used. Each ball is also measured, weighed and examined with X-ray on a regular basis to ensure its accuracy. Moreover, the same set of balls is not used for two consecutive draws.
In addition, the organisers of the competition will make a number of other efforts to ensure the fairness of the draw. For example, all the information about the winners will be displayed on a large screen before each draw. Furthermore, all HKJC staff who participate in the draw will be required to sign a pledge not to divulge any of the winning numbers before or after the draw.
A slew of awards were collected by the South China Morning Post in the 2024 Focus on the Frontline awards, with Sam Tsang’s image of a construction worker’s clothing caught on fire taking home the top prize in Breaking News. Elson Li’s picture of swimmers diving into Victoria Harbour earned the top prize in Sports, while Eugene Lee and Dickson Lee were honoured in the Nature and Environment and Portrait categories respectively.
The winner of this year’s HK Prize will be announced on 21 October at the HK Prize Ceremony and Awards Dinner. This will be followed by the public exhibition of all finalists’ entries at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 22 to 24 November.
