Strong showing at 47th Best of News Design Creative Competition, recognising excellence across digital, print and multimedia work
The South China Morning Post has won 74 awards at the 47th Best of News Design Creative Competition, including three silver and 11 bronze medals.
“It’s a great honour to receive these awards that are often called the Oscars of visual journalism. This global recognition reflects the hard work and innovation happening in our newsroom every day. It also affirms our commitment to telling Asia’s story with depth and clarity in an age of information overload,” said Chow Chung-yan, the SCMP’s editor-in-chief.
Kaliz Lee, the SCMP’s assistant graphic director, also said the team was honoured by the recognition.
“This achievement is a testament to a team that brings together specialised talents in data, digital engineering, illustration, and creative problem-solving,” Lee said.
“By seamlessly integrating these skills and never compromising on quality, we ensure the delivery of clear, trustworthy visual journalism.”
The project, which examined the rise of fencing in Hong Kong following recent Olympic successes, won three silver awards in the “infographic” (digital), “story page design” (print) and “infographic” (print) categories, as well as a bronze for “use of multimedia and design elements – illustrated reporting”.
