Event history
Originating from the First Picture Show, inaugurated in Hong Kong in 1975, the show was renamed HKDA Design Show in 1976. It was an annual event until 1980 when it became a biennial competition open to all local designers in various disciplines. Since 1996, the call for entry of the design show has been extended to other Asia Pacific countries and has become the biggest and most important design competition in the region. To reinforce the image of the Awards, it was renamed as HKDA Awards in 2005 and this year as HKDA Asia Design Awards. In the last Awards, over 1,700 entries were received locally and from the Asian regions.For more information, please contact:
