The power of images transcends language and words. National Geographic and Wheelock Properties have once again co-hosted an international photography competition. With the support of the "Harbour City 'Art Gallery'" and Harbour City, the exhibition of award-winning works from the "2018 National Geographic Wheelock Hong Kong Photography Competition" provides a global platform for photographers aged 16 or above in Hong Kong to showcase their outstanding works, and also presents the beauty of Hong Kong to the world in a more eye-catching way.

The theme of the "2018 National Geographic Wheelock Hong Kong Photography Competition" is "Hong Kong Stories." The competition is divided into four categories: "Nature," "City," "People," and "Mobile Photography." This year, over 4,000 entries were received, including both amateur photography enthusiasts and professional photographers, making the competition highly intense. Participants came not only from Hong Kong, but also from Macau, Taiwan, Mainland China, as well as 19 other countries and regions including Italy, Spain, the United States, and Canada.
The judging panel consisted of Fritz Hoffmann, a photography master from National Geographic in the United States, renowned Hong Kong nature and ecology photographer So Yik-hung, and Li Wing-shui, the Editor-in-Chief of the Chinese edition of National Geographic.
Fritz Hoffmann stated that almost anyone can be a photographer these days, but the ways of taking photos still vary widely. Some submissions stood out due to their technical proficiency, but ultimately, it was personal visual interpretation that won the day.
