Entries are invited every year and the best entry in each award category will be presented with the Hong Kong Award for Industry.
Organisers of the various categories may also give their own awards in each award category or confer certificates of merit on deserving entries.
The closing date for entries this year is April 10. The presentation ceremony will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on September 28.
As regards the Quality Award organised by the Industry Department. Miss Yue said: "All companies located in Hong Kong and, in the year before the closing date for entries, manufactured products which qualify for a certificate of Hong Kong origin are eligible to enter the competition."
Entries for the Quality Award will be evaluated on two main criteria.
The first is the quality of the company's products, in terms of fitness for purpose, consistency in performance, packaging/appearance, environmental protection aspects, value for money and safety.
The second is the company's quality culture and the extent to which a company's quality management system is applied to design, materials sourcing. production and testing; and how far it eliminates delays and rejections during the manufacturing process and consumer complaints afterwards.
Entry forms and brochures on the Quality Award are obtainable from the Industry Department or by calling 2736 2306.
