8. Excellence in Newspaper Design

Award: 台灣蘋果日報

Honorable Mention: 蘋果日報

台灣蘋果日報: The mix of photos, graphics and text presents a sharp impact on the readers. Eye-catching combinations of headlines, pictures, and graphics. The design of the front pages is creative, especially the coverage on Shih Ming-teh. The layout of the design displays strongly the key messages of the news stories. Strong use of the advantages of Chinese language to communicate visual and textual meaning. Even though some of the news was sensational and frankly quite sad (the drowned man in the flood), there was no question that, in the beach rescue story really did make the reader follow the flow of the page as they explained it.

9. Excellence in Magazine Design

Award: 生活 (美術部)

Honorable Mention: 號外 (美術部)

生活: Package design is excellent. It gives readers a surprised feeling, not only a magazine but a gift instead. There is a concept behind the design: it experiments with paper texture, cutting holes into the cover, etc. The July 1 2006 issue cover features a lonely tree, with lots of blank space that allows your imagination to roam.

10. Excellence in Magazine Front Cover Design

Award: 明報周刊 - "留住這風光" (徐青)

Honorable Mention: 亞洲週刊 - "以色列中國民工賭命"（余文生）

明報周刊: A strong and striking cover that captured in one simple image the feeling of a district left over from another time, fully integrating the story's themes into its design. The MPW font done in the same style as the paint on the iron sliding gate is a great way of extending the central idea of the story to the entire cover, and serves as a metaphor for the past and future of the fruit market. The design made very strong use of the unique pictorial nature of the Chinese language, creating visual-linguistic messages that are completely impossible to duplicate in English (or most other languages).

Award: 香港經濟日報 - "香港醒醒: 表面風光，內裡陰乾" (曾仲榮、雷建)

Honorable Mention: 明報周刊 - "堆填紀事"（陳曉蕾）

天下雜誌: Excellent reporting- an exposure of government and factions’ irresponsibility exposing toxic threats to our everyday meal.

These forces fit neatly within the broader political and economic undercurrents at play. Detailed explanations given on the process of using SPV, structured bond issuance and hidden third party firm for the acquisition. The graphic illustration on the timeline and relationship was excellent in enabling readers to capture the main points.

16. The Scoop Award

Award: 明報 - "青海旅客被劏系列" (盧曼思、陸倩盈、張岳弢、何嘉敏、黃雄)

Honorable Mention: 商業周刊 - "沙烏地王子" (吳修辰、楊少強、朱紀中)

Her articles gave readers a comprehensive review of the historical event - its past and present. Her vigorous efforts to search for proper interviewees, though a very basic principle of journalism, proved important to a news story. She was able to demonstrate her journalistic skills in delivering stories even though she didn’t have the chance to interview anyone of significance to the historical event.
