香港攝影大賽 2023 由《國家地理》雜誌主辦、會德豐呈獻，今天公布得獎名單。本屆參與人數非常踴躍，雖然限於只收取香港境內拍攝的作品，但除了香港本地的攝影師之外，更有不少來自中國大陸、台灣、澳門、阿富汗、澳洲、加拿大、迦納、印尼、義大利、日本、韓國、馬來西亞、紐西蘭、新加坡、泰國、英國、美國等多個海外國家和地區的攝影愛好者參與。

本屆大賽分為城市、生態、風景、人物、歷史建築、手機六個組別，收到參賽作品共 9,205。大賽評審由國家地理著名生態攝影師蒂姆．拉曼（Tim Laman）、香港著名攝影師鄭振揚（Tugo Cheng），以及《國家地理》雜誌中文版總編輯李永適共同擔任。

蒂姆．拉曼表示：「我已經去過香港好幾次了，但是透過當地攝影師的眼睛來看這個城市，對我來說是一種全新的體驗。他們花時間尋找城市景觀的獨特視角，捕捉人們的日常生活，甚至追蹤野生動物。能夠擔任這次比賽的評審，我感到非常榮幸，並祝賀獲獎者創作出如此高水準的影像。」

另一位評審鄭振揚表示：「我們收到了為數不少令人眼前一亮的作品，由維多利亞港的渡海泳手、凌晨時分的果欄，到被困在淺水中的馬蹄蟹，這些作品都訴說着不同的香港故事。這些相片不僅展示了一眾本地攝影師出色的技巧和創意，更重要是影像中呈現了他們對我城的視野和熱愛。希望本年度新增設的歷史建築組別能有助提升大眾對建築和保育的關注。」

李永適總編輯則表示：「本次國家地理香港攝影大賽一如既往的吸引了許多優秀的攝影作品參賽。儘管從入圍整體作品看來，主題或拍攝地點的同質性偏高，但最終獲獎的攝影師們都透過作品傳達了各自的風格與特色，有許多讓人耳目一新的作品。我欣見國家地理香港攝影大賽成為許多攝影師發揮的舞臺，希望更多有創意有想法的攝影愛好者來參與這每年一屆的盛事。」

會德豐地產副主席兼常務董事黃光耀先生表示：「十分榮幸連續七年與國家地理攜手舉辦香港攝影大賽，亦非常高興今年收到超過9,200份參賽作品，每份作品都豐富展出香港國際大都會璀璨迷人的景象，希望各位攝影愛好者能繼續支持香港攝影大賽，把香港獨特的魅力呈現給全世界。適逢香港藝術三月，今年更首度與同SAVVY餐廳合作，在餐廳內展出得獎作品，並推出以香港攝影大賽主題的下午茶及晚市套餐，讓各位能一邊欣賞作品，同時一邊品嘗美食。」

得獎名單如下： The Hong Kong Photo Contest 2023, organized by National Geographic magazine and presented by Wheelock, announced the winners today. This year’s participation was very enthusiastic.

This year’s contest was divided into six categories: city, ecology, landscape, people, historic architecture, and mobile photography, receiving a total of 9,205 entries. The judges of the Contest were Tim Laman, famous ecological photographer from National Geographic, Tugo Cheng, famous Hong Kong photographer, and Yungshih Lee, the editor-in-chief of the Chinese version of National Geographic magazine.

Tim Laman said, “I have been to Hong Kong several times, but it was eye-opening to view it through the eyes of local photographers who put the time to find unique perspectives on the urban scene, capture the daily lives of its people, and even track down its wild creatures. It was a pleasure to serve as a judge for this Contest, and I congratulate the winners for the high standard of images that they have created.”

Another judge, Tugo Cheng, said, “We have received an amazing collections of works that tell unique stories of Hong Kong, from Victoria Harbour swimmers, late night Fruit Market to Horseshoe crabs trapped in shallow water. These images showcase not only the exceptional skills and creativity of our fellow photographers, but more importantly their vision and love for our city. We hope the newly introduced category of Historic Architecture would help raise the awareness of architecture and conservation of our built environment.”

Editor-in-chief Yungshih Lee said, “The National Geographic Hong Kong Photo Contest has once again attracted many excellent photographic works. Although the homogeneity of themes or shooting locations is high from the shortlisted overall works, the final winning photographers have conveyed their own style and characteristics through their works, and there are many refreshing works. I am pleased to see the National Geographic Hong Kong Photo Contest become a stage for many photographers to perform, and I hope more creative and thoughtful photography enthusiasts will participate in this annual event.”

“It is our honour to have co-organised the Hong Kong Photo Contest with National Geographic for seven consecutive years, and we are very happy to have received over 9,200 submissions. Each of the entries captures the captivating scenes of Hong Kong, fully showcasing the city as an international metropolis. We hope that all the photography enthusiasts can continue to support the Hong Kong Photo Contest, bringing the unique charm of Hong Kong to the whole world. In Art March, we will collaborate with SAVVY Bar Lounge Restaurant for the first time, exhibiting the award-winning works. We will also offer afternoon tea and dinner set menus inspired by the theme of the Hong Kong Photo Contest, so guests can enjoy the artworks while indulging in delicious cuisine.” said Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Wheelock Properties, Mr. Ricky Wong.
