Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post wins 9 photo, video awards
Post photographers and video team honoured in Hong Kong Press Photographers Association competitions
The South China Morning Post has won nine awards in two competitions organised by the Hong Kong Press Photographers Association.
Post photographers picked up eight prizes across four categories in the Focus at the Frontline 2024 contest.
Sam Tsang’s shot of a construction worker’s clothing catching fire after an accident in Kwun Tong won the Breaking News category, while Elson Li’s image of swimmers in the Triathlon World Cup diving into Victoria Harbour was awarded the top prize in Sports. Post photographers Eugene Lee and Dickson Lee were also honoured in the Nature and Environment, and Portrait categories.
The results of the association’s Video at the Frontline annual news and documentary video competition were also announced on Monday, with the Post picking up the top prize.
The judges said the winning entry by senior video producer Bryan Wood, titled “Domestic ‘helpers’ battle two-week rule to stay in Hong Kong”, showed “good journalist sense”.
They added: “With the unique characters, strong visuals, and an effective use of animation, it tells the story of Hong Kong’s neglected voices in a very complete manner.”
