Spirit of Hong Kong Awards: creativity, courage on show as 27 finalists shortlisted
Annual awards recognise the efforts of Hong Kong’s unsung heroes who contribute to the community or inspire others
Established in 2013, the annual awards recognise the efforts of Hong Kong’s unsung heroes who contribute to the community or inspire others with stories of how they overcome personal challenges.
“Hong Kong’s young people aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow. They’re already stepping up for Hong Kong today,” said Daryl Ng Win-kong, chairman of Sino Group, which co-organised the awards with the Post.
“Their creativity and courage are opening new paths in sustainability, technology and compassion. It’s truly inspiring to see their love for Hong Kong, and how they turn passions and bold ideas into real positive change for the whole community.”
The awards have nine categories – community, culture, innovation, sustainability, perseverance, teamwork, youth, nurturing and entrepreneurship.
Among the finalists are young people who launched projects that addressed urgent needs in education, health and sustainability.
Others built start-ups that made food systems greener or technology more accessible.
