Themed “Happy*Healthy”. Hong Kong Photo Contest 2020 is divided into
\nfive categories: “Landscape”, “Wildlife”, “City”, “People” and “Mobile
\nPhotography”. This year, the competition has received over 7000 submissions
\nfrom both photography enthusiasts and professionals from a total of 13
\ncountries and cities such as Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Mainland China, Canada,
\nUSA, United Kingdom and Malaysia. <\/p>\n

The judging panel this year comprises National Geographic photographer
\nGeorge Steinmetz; renowned Hong Kong photographer Anthony Lau; and Lee
\nYungshih, editor-in-chief of National
\nGeographic<\/i> magazine Chinese edition. <\/p>\n

George says, “As long time visitor to Hong Kong,
\nI was impressed by how the city was depicted by those who know it best. I
\nwas particular surprised by the winning photo in the “people” category, of
\na lone woman isolated on her rooftop at dusk, connecting with the world via the
\nglow of her mobile phone. It beautifully captured the spirit of the city
\nduring very turbulent year.” <\/p>\n

Anthony says, “As a Hong Kong-born photographer, I’m honored to be able
\nto view and analyze the shortlisted works from a judge’s perspective. There are
\nmany outstanding works among the entries. Unfortunately, many were disqualified
\ndue to various issues associated with their original files. For the winners who
\nmade it through the rounds, they’ve earned it. Some photos, while simple in
\ncomposition, managed to contain an “overload” of information as they
\nevocatively illustrated certain moments in nature and the urban environment.”<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Li from Taiwan says, “I am delighted to see that this
\nyear’s Hong Kong Photo Contest has grown to a new height. Not only the number
\nof participants and entries has reached the highest since the launch of the
\ncontest, but the quality of work in general has greatly improved as well. Among
\nall the winning images, I am most impressed by the winner of the wildlife
\ncategory. The photographer captured a moment of a legion of ants hunting their
\nprey. It’s an excellent display of all important elements of photography:
\ncomposition, color, lighting, wildlife behavior, and a great moment. It’s a
\nwell-deserved winner.”<\/p>\n

Managing
\nDirector of Wheelock Properties Ricky Wong says: “We’re honored to have
\npartnered with National Geographic for the fourth year in the ‘Hong Kong Photo
\nContest 2020’. As a revered industry event in the city, we hope to help
\ntalented photographers realize their dreams through this photography
\ncompetition and to reveal spectacular images and stories to our audiences. The
\nunprecedented global challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic have transformed
\nthe world, creating considerable disruptions to our daily activities and
\ncausing bodily and mental distress. Particularly at the onset of the COVID-19,
\nmany had to stay home and therefore we hope to, by asking contestants to
\ncapture the city’s resilience during the pandemic through their lens, inspire
\nimagination and stimulate creativity while spreading positivity through this
\nphoto contest with five categories under the theme ‘Happy*Healthy’. We hope
\nthis competition can span internationally so people around the world can learn
\nof Hong Kong’s authentic beauty.”<\/p>\n
