The Hong Kong prize is a prize awarded annually to recognise and encourage the achievements of young scientists who have made significant contributions in their field. It is a major initiative of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Council. Each awardee will receive a cash prize of HK$2 million and a certificate. This year the competition has been expanded to include more areas of scientific and technological research and development.

Those who win the first and second prizes are automatically entered into the jackpot (Duo Bao Jiang) for the next draw, where the prize money increases to a maximum of about HKD$100 million. This can be very exciting for players, as the jackpot grows with every winning unit. If no one wins the first and second prizes, the money that would have been paid out for these prizes will be added to the Jackpot (Duo Bao Jiang). If this happens, the winning units will increase significantly compared with previous draws.

In addition to providing funding, the Hong Kong prize also provides a platform for young scientists to demonstrate their skills and knowledge and to connect with industry partners. This will help them build a professional network and gain a greater understanding of the industry and its future opportunities.

The HK Prize aims to inspire students to pursue excellence and fulfill their potential in mathematics and science. It was established in 2004 and is sponsored by Hang Lung Properties. It also promotes the importance of science and its practical applications to society.

Kong’s victory at the Olympics has been widely lauded, especially in her home country of China. Social media platforms have been abuzz with fervent discussions and an outpouring of support. One netizen said she was moved by Kong’s resoluteness in the face of adversity, noting that her determination is a valuable lesson for everyone.

During the Games, Kong had to overcome two ligament ruptures and underwent a series of surgeries. Despite the challenges, she continued to perform well and unleash her full potential. Her triumph reflects Hong Kong’s spirit of perseverance and courage. It has inspired people across the globe to work hard and never give up, regardless of the difficulties.

The 8th Inter-school Competition of Study Projects on Hong Kong History and Culture has just concluded. The competition aims to enhance students’ awareness of Hong Kong’s historical development and its relationship with changes in our society, and encourage them to learn actively outside the classroom through in-depth investigation and research into various aspects of our local culture and history.

This year, nine Hong Kong artists made it to the shortlist. Of these, two-thirds were women, a record for the Art Prize’s history. Among them was Noormah Jamal, who has an acrylic-on-canvas painting called Did the Seed Grow?. The work depicts two figures with vacant expressions, suggesting they are disconnected from each other and the world around them.

The exhibition introduces the achievements of this year’s Shaw Laureates and their fascinating research journey. It also showcases the prestigious international award and Hong Kong’s science and technology legacy. The exhibition is free for the public to visit.
