This year, nine local artists made it onto the shortlist of this prestigious arts award. The award scheme, which was first conferred in 1992, recognises both established arts practitioners and up-and-coming artists who have demonstrated their outstanding talents. It also recognises individuals and organisations that have actively promoted the development of arts in Hong Kong, as well as patrons who support local arts events.

The BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize aims to reward scientists and research teams, including those from the Greater Bay Area, who have performed outstanding achievements in scientific or technological research and innovation. Each field reward will not be given to more than 5 persons (or teams). Each winner will receive a certificate and a trophy. The prize is administered by Hong Kong Alliance for Science and Technology Innovation. A charter is being developed to promote scientific and standardized management of the prize, and to safeguard its objectivity and fairness. The charter will be introduced to the public soon.
