The Hong Kong Excellent Family Awards, co-organised by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau (HYAB) and the Family Council, opens for entries today (April 28). Families living in Hong Kong are welcome to participate, and the deadline for enrolment is June 27.
      
     The first Hong Kong Excellent Family Awards focuses on fostering stable family relationships for building good family values and virtues and promotes good family values to the public. The awards recognise families that cultivate a positive and supportive family relationship built on love and respect as well as care and support, and pass on good family traditions and virtues to younger generations. There are 15 awards in this event, including 10 Excellent Families Awards and five Passage of Good Family Values and Virtues Awards. The winning families will receive trophies, admission tickets and a hotel stay at a theme park, 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 experiences and stories together with not more than five family photos, on or before June 27. The narrative should demonstrate strong family bonds, the family's ability to cope with various challenges in life together, and passing on of good family traditions and virtues to the younger generation. Participants can submit the entries online or download the entry form from the thematic webpage, and submit the completed form along with the narrative and photo(s) in person or by post to the HYAB Family Council Secretariat (13/F, West Wing, Central Government Offices, 2 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar, Hong Kong). Shortlisted families will be invited to attend a meeting in early August.

     Details of the awards are available on the thematic webpage (www.familycouncil.gov.hk/en/promotion/hkefa.html). For enquiries, please call 6208 9471 or email info@excellentfamilyawards2025.hk.
