What is the Hongkong Prize?

A Hongkong Prize is an incredible way to recognize people who are making an impactful difference in the world, such as using technology to assist homeless individuals or creating fine art that interprets human rights concepts. Receiving such an award helps the recipients continue their good works and inspires others to do the same.

Lui Che-woo established the Hongkong Prize to recognize those who advance world civilisation and inspire others to build peaceful societies. Its logo depicts two precious elements – a pearl and jade amulet – symbolizing humanity’s spirit of harmony. Since its establishment, this prize has received tremendous global support, becoming an international platform for outstanding achievements.

Applicants who win the Hongkong Prize will receive both a significant financial award and access to Hong Kong’s premier research facilities.
