Introduction of Organiser:

The Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Association (HKDEA) was established in 1999 as a non-profit making association comprised of digital entertaining corporations. It is dedicated to the betterment of the local digital entertainment industry.

HKDEA's missions are:

  • To promote technology development within the industry in order to deliver internationally competitive products;

  • To explore and develop new markets;

  • To project a positive image associated with playing video games;

  • To discourage software piracy; and

  • To facilitate communication and interaction between industries, including toys, entertainment and video games, which are associated with digital entertainment.

The HKDEA was founded during a time when there were relatively few local digital entertainment establishments. It was thus established to provide a mechanism upon which local developers could cooperate to ensure industry-wide prosperity.

Since its establishment, the HKDEA has organised a variety of activities and events including:

  • Hong Kong ICT Awards: Best Digital Entertainment Award

  • Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Excellence Awards

  • Conferences

  • Overseas Promotions

  • Local Promotions

  • HKDEA Web Site Building

  • Seminars and Training

Background:

The Hong Kong ICT Awards aims at recognising and promoting outstanding information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and applications, thereby encouraging innovation and excellence among Hong Kong¡¦s ICT talents and enterprises in their constant pursuit for creative and better solutions to meet business and social needs.

The Hong Kong ICT Awards was established in 2006 with the collaborative efforts of the industry, academia and the Government. Steered by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, and organised by 10 Hong Kong ICT industry associations and professional bodies, the Awards aims at building a locally espoused and internationally acclaimed brand of ICT awards.

There are 10 categories under the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2015. There will be one Grand Award in each category, and an ¡§Award of the Year¡¨ will be selected from the ten Grand Awards by the Grand Judging Panel.

Objective:

The Hong Kong ICT Awards 2015 : Best Digital Entertainment Award seeks to recognise and honour the best works produced by the Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Industry and to promote excellence in this field. The Award will grant over 10 superb productions in terms of the five Judging Criteria. It aims to allow accomplished companies, individuals or teams from this industry to participate in the campaign and show off their talent.

One new start-up company will be specially awarded for its outstanding performance.

¡§Special Mention¡¨ will be granted to those productions that impress the judging panel in a specific area which is out of the award titles, which aims to encourage the potential participants in the industry.
