The South China Morning Post won a record 50 awards in an international design competition - the most in the paper's history.
A panel had selected the winners at a closed-door session at Syracuse University in New York last month but the results were not revealed until Wednesday.
The awards recognised infographics, feature design pages, illustrations and portfolios.
"This is pure journalism… from the germ of the idea to the final packaging, that is why I am so passionate about this work," said Alberto Lucas, the Post's graphics director, whose haul of 33 awards was the most won by an individual in the competition's 36-year history. His honours included a Silver award for his portfolio of work.
His award-winning works included The Height of Social Values, which charted the evolution of groundbreaking tall buildings throughout history.
