What Awards Does HKIP Present, and How Can I Take Part in HKIP Awards Events?

Updated

The Hong Kong Institute of Planners (HKIP) presents two award strands visible on its official website, hkip.org.hk: the HKIP GBA Planning Awards 2026 (香港規劃師學會 大灣區規劃大獎2026) and the annual HKIP Awards. To take part, use the registration pages linked from the homepage for HKIP awards activities; results and awardee lists are published on the site once announced.

The two award strands on the site

Award What the site shows Where to look
HKIP GBA Planning Awards 2026 A dedicated banner section with a "List of Awardees 獲獎名單" link Homepage banner area
Annual HKIP Awards Separate entries for event registration and results announcement "Register for HKIP Awards Events" and "HKIP Awards Results Announcement" sections

Both strands appear as featured items in the homepage's "What's New 最新消息" area, alongside the President's Message and institute events such as the Hong Kong x New York Urban Planning Symposium 2025 and the HKIP International Planning Conference 2025.

How to take part

  1. Start at the homepage. The awards blocks sit in the landing banner area, each with a "Details 詳情" link.
  2. For the GBA Planning Awards 2026, open the awards section and check the awardee list link to see which entries have been recognised. This tells you the kind of work the award covers before you prepare a submission for a future round.
  3. For the annual HKIP Awards, use the "Register for HKIP Awards Events 登記參加 香港規劃師學會 周年大獎活動" block. The registration link is the entry point for awards activities; follow it to the current sign-up details.
  4. Check results afterwards. The "HKIP Awards Results Announcement 香港規劃師學會 周年大獎結果公布" block publishes outcomes, so you can confirm whether an entry or event has been concluded.

Expected result: after step 3 you should reach the live registration page for the current awards activity; after step 4 you should find the published results or awardee list.

Practical points to keep in mind

  • The site is bilingual (English and Chinese), and section titles appear in both languages — search or scan for either version.
  • The homepage does not state eligibility rules, deadlines, or fees for either award. Those details sit behind the "Details 詳情" links, so open them rather than relying on the banner text.
  • If a registration block shows no active details, the awards cycle for that year is likely between phases; check the results announcement section to see whether the round has closed.
  • The same homepage also lists related institute activities (symposia, conferences, the HKIP Journal, and community projects such as the Healthy City Proposals for Yau Mong District), which can be useful context for the kind of planning work HKIP highlights.

For anything beyond what the homepage shows — submission categories, judging panels, or timelines — the individual award pages linked under "Details 詳情" are the authoritative source.
