Hong Kong - Formerly known as "HKDA Design Show", the new "HKDA Awards" has been launched with a new identity. Since its inaugural ''First Picture Show'' held in 1975 by HKDA, the event has become the one of the most important multi-disciplinary design competition/exhibition in the Asia Pacific region.

To be held biennially in Hong Kong, the ''HKDA Awards'' cover various design disciplines from graphics, product, interior, spatial, illustration to new media.

In the latest ''HKDA Design 02 Show'', more than 2,200 entries were submitted in the Hong Kong and Asia sections including entries from mainland China, Taiwan, Macau, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand.

This year, the two sections will be merged and entries from Hong Kong and other Asia Pacific regions will be judged together.

A panel of judges comprising distinguished designers of international acclaim will adjudicate all entries. Winners will be awarded trophies and certificates at the ''HKDA Awards Presentation Dinner'' to be held in Hong Kong, tentatively scheduled for November 2005. All winning entries will be exhibited in Hong Kong during the same period and published in the ''HKDA Awards Book''.
