Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post has won 60 awards at the 45th edition of the Best of News Design Creative Competition organised by the Society for News Design, surpassing last year’s 37.

The results were announced last week after the competition was held earlier this month in the US city of Minneapolis, with close to 4,400 entries of 2023 news stories to the event, designed to “honour excellence in visual storytelling, design and journalism”.

The judging panel, made up of 44 visual journalists representing more than 35 organisations from around the world, awarded the Post one gold, four silvers, and five bronze prizes, alongside 50 awards of excellence for both print and digital stories.

Post Editor-in-Chief Tammy Tam praised the winners for “doing us proud by bringing home such a large haul of accolades”.

“Just like our world-class journalists, our amazingly talented designers and artists can compete with the best in the business on the international stage and come out on top,” she said.
