The inaugural Hong Kong Excellent Family Awards, co-organised by the Home & Youth Affairs Bureau and the Family Council, are open for entries from today until June 27. Families living in Hong Kong are welcome to join.
The awards aim to recognise families that cultivate a positive and supportive family relationship built on love and respect as well as care and support, and to pass on good family traditions and virtues.
There are 15 awards in this event, including 10 Excellent Families Awards and five Passage of Good Family Values & Virtues Awards. Winning families will receive trophies, theme park tickets, complimentary hotel accommodation, family photography services, and gift coupons.
Participating families are required to submit a written narrative in either Chinese or English, sharing their family’s real-life experience. They also need to include up to five family photos in an entry.
The narrative should demonstrate strong family bonds, the family’s ability to cope with challenges in life together, and the passing on of good family traditions and virtues.
Participants can submit entries online. Alternatively, they can download the entry form from the thematic webpage and pass the completed form along with the narrative and photos to the Home & Youth Affairs Bureau Family Council Secretariat, 13/F West Wing, Central Government Offices, 2 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar, Hong Kong, by post or in person.
Shortlisted families will be invited to attend a meeting in early August.
