The award ceremony invited Dr. Pang Yiu-Kai, Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, as a guest presenter. Dr. Pang stated, "I am very honored to attend the 'Hong Kong Photo Contest 2024' award ceremony tonight. The dazzling charm of Hong Kong has always attracted people from all over the world to come and explore, which is why the organizing committee has specially introduced the 'Travelers Awards’ to encourage tourists visiting Hong Kong to participate in the competition. I hope everyone will continue to support and take part in the 'Hong Kong Photography Competition,' an annual event that celebrates photography in our city. Enjoy photography and capture the unique Hong Kong as seen through your eyes."
本屆大賽分為風景組、生態組、城市組、人物組、運動組及手機組。評審陣容包括國際知名攝影師麥可·山下先生、香港資深運動攝影師程詩詠先生,以及《國家地理》雜誌中文版總編輯李永適先生。本屆共收到8,788件參賽作品,透過六大組別全面展現香港的城市風貌與人文底蘊。 The contest was divided into Landscape, Wildlife, City, People, Sports, and Mobile Photography. The judging panel included internationally renowned photographer Mr. Michael Yamashita, senior sports photographer Mr. Brian Ching from Hong Kong, and Editor-in-Chief of National Geographic Traditional Chinese Edition, Mr. Yungshih Lee. This year’s competition received a total of 8,788 submissions, showcasing the urban landscape and cultural heritage of Hong Kong through six categories.
大賽評審麥可·山下先生特別讚賞手機組作品展現的創意:「我要向所有得獎者表達誠摯的祝賀!作為一名曾多次到香港工作的攝影師,我對風景及城市組的作品早有期待。今年的作品水準極高,特別是手機攝影組,展現出令人驚喜的創意和技術。這充分證明『最好的相機,就是你手上那一 台』。希望所有攝影愛好者持續探索與創作,期待未來能在香港街頭與大家相遇!」 Judge Michael Yamashita particularly praised the creativity displayed in the Mobile Photography category: "I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the winners! As a photographer who has worked in Hong Kong many times, I had high expectations for the Landscape and Cityscape. The quality of this year’s works is exceptional, especially in the mobile photography category, which showcases surprising creativity and technique. This fully proves that 'the best camera is the one in your hand.' I hope all photography enthusiasts will continue to explore and create, and I look forward to meeting everyone on the streets of Hong Kong in the future! "
另一位評審程詩詠先生則表示:「能夠與世界級評審一同評選,是一次難得的經歷。這次比賽不僅是一次評選,更是一次學習歷程。每幅作品均展現攝影師對光影、構圖及色彩的細膩掌握,並訴說著動人的故事。希望未來參賽者能繼續突破自我,在攝影領域發掘更多可能 性。」 Another judge, Mr. Brian Ching, stated: "Judging alongside such esteemed professionals was an incredible experience. This competition was not just a judging experience but also a valuable learning opportunity. Each submission exhibited a masterful command of light, composition, and color, weaving compelling visual narratives. I hope future participants will continue to challenge themselves and explore new possibilities in photography."
總編輯李永適先生則提到:「本屆新增的運動組別為大賽增添新亮點, 其中冠軍得主拍到年輕參賽者在滾軸溜冰比賽中摔倒,成功捕捉了動態瞬間,展現香港市民的活力與熱情。然而,我們亦觀察到部分作品之構圖與場景較為相似,期望來年的作品能夠從更獨特的視角,呈現尚未發掘的香港面貌。」 Editor-in-Chief Mr. Yungshih Lee also mentioned: 'The newly added sports category has brought a new highlight to the contest, with the champion capturing a young participant falling during a roller skating competition, successfully capturing a dynamic moment that showcases the energy and enthusiasm of Hong Kong citizens. However, we also observed that some of the compositions and scenes were quite similar, and we hope that next year's entries will present a more unique perspective, revealing an undiscovered side of Hong Kong.'
會德豐地產副主席兼常務董事黃光耀先生表示:「會德豐地產很榮幸能夠連續第 8 屆與 《國家地理》攜手舉辦『香港攝影大賽 2024』,共同推動本地攝影文化。今年比賽吸引來自世界各地的攝影愛好者參與,投稿作品數量突破 8,700 件,而新增的運動攝影組與旅客特別獎亦為比賽帶來嶄新元素。我希望各位攝影愛好者繼續發掘香港的美好,並踴躍參與這項年度攝影盛事,繼續透過影像記錄和傳承香港的獨特魅力。!」 Mr. Ricky Wong, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Wheelock Properties, stated: "Wheelock Properties is honored to partner with National Geographic for the 8th consecutive year to organize the Hong Kong Photo Contest 2024, working together to promote local photography culture. This year, the competition attracted photography enthusiasts from all over the world, with submissions exceeding 8,700 entries.
