Spirit of Hong Kong Awards celebrates 10th year with honours for city’s unsung heroes in 6 categories
- South China Morning Post editor-in-chief Tammy Tam says awards have reached a ‘special milestone’
- Judges pick six winners across diverse categories of community, youth, perseverance, culture, innovation and teamwork
A visually impaired marathon runner, a social enterprise founder with cerebral palsy and two record-setting blood donors have been recognised with Spirit of Hong Kong Awards, which for a decade have shone a light on the city’s unsung heroes.
This year’s awards ceremony, co-hosted by the South China Morning Post and property developer Sino Group, took place on Thursday evening at the Conrad hotel. Post editor-in-chief Tammy Tam said the awards had reached a “special milestone”.
“Since 2013, we have had the privilege of showcasing the inspiring stories of hundreds of exceptional individuals and groups who exemplify the virtues that characterise the very best of our community,” she said.
“It is encouraging to see that in the decade since its conception, the Spirit of Hong Kong Awards remains true to its original purpose: to tell stories of unsung heroes that we may not otherwise hear about, and spread hope across our community.”
Daryl Ng Win-kong, deputy chairman of Sino Group, said the company was honoured to be a part of the awards that recognised the people who endeavoured to make Hong Kong a better place.
