A controversial film that tapped residents’ fears about Hong Kong’s future as a semi-autonomous Chinese territory scooped the top prize at the city’s top film awards on Sunday. Ten Years won the best picture award for its edgy portrayal of life in Hong Kong under increasing pressure from Beijing.
The South China Morning Post’s journalists picked up 12 prizes at the Hong Kong News Awards 2024, including the top honour for Best Scoop for the paper’s investigation of unauthorised structures added to luxury properties. Editor-in-chief Tammy Tam commended the winners, who she said “showcased the true spirit of Hong Kong’s journalism”. Senior reporter Edith Lin and news editor Jeffie Lam of the City desk shared first place in the category with the newspaper’s reporters Kahon Chan, Natalie Wong and Lilian Cheng for their reporting on a Dubai prince’s decision to shelve plans to open his family office in Hong Kong.
Another highlight of the event was a special award for runners who complete the marathon in less than 3 hours for men and under 3 hours 30 minutes for women. The HK$280,000 prize money is one of the highest in the world. It also reflects the strong commitment of HKAA to promote the development of marathon running in Hong Kong.
Moreover, the marathon’s prize money pool has been boosted to HK$20.8 million, and the Quartet & First 4 Merged Pool has a HK$2.8 million jackpot. The total prize money is a record high for the race, surpassing last year’s HK$20.8 million.
The prize, named after Professor George B. Endacott, was established to perpetuate his memory and the work he did for the re-establishment of the Department of History after the Second World War. The prize seeks to encourage young scholars in East Asia to engage in planning history and to publish their work in English. It also aims to expand the influence of IPHS in this region. The prize is normally awarded at the biennial IPHS conference. It is the most prestigious prize of the society. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their applications to the prize committee. More details are available in the application form. The deadline for submissions is 31 October. Applicants should be Hong Kong-based scholars who have obtained Academy Fellowship within the past 10 years. Their work must be published in the peer-reviewed journals. The Peter Hall Prize is the most prestigious award of the IPHS. It recognises sustained excellence in a body of published work that has contributed to international scholarship and conveys the relevance of planning history to contemporary planning challenges.
