BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize is an independent merit-based award that recognizes scientific discoveries with significant social impacts while encouraging young scientists to follow their dreams. Laureates receive both monetary prizes and access to Hong Kong’s premier research facilities, giving them the chance to advance their careers in one of the world’s vibrant science hubs. Past winners have included entrepreneurs using technology to assist homeless people as well as student artists interpreting human rights concepts through fine art.
This year’s nominations included activists fighting for freedom and democracy – many jailed as a result; community service initiatives, like providing shelter to homeless adults; and social justice projects such as rewarding volunteers for completing community service hours with prizes. They all demonstrate resilience of human spirit even under adverse conditions.
HK Prize is open to enrolled secondary school students in Hong Kong who have been nominated by their teachers, with submissions to be made online and selected by a panel of judges. Top ten finalists will be rewarded with both monetary prizes and shopping vouchers; one entry will receive the Judges Prize award; this competition offers students an invaluable chance to build portfolios while honing writing skills – just make sure that all regulations have been read carefully beforehand!
