Hong Kong Composers’ Guild
25th Anniversary Logo Design Competition
The year 2008 is a milestone for the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild as it celebrates Silver Jubilee anniversary. The Hong Kong Composers’ Guild now invites all young talents, whether serious amateurs or professionals, to create contemporary innovative designs to enter the “25th Anniversary Logo Design Competition”.
Background of the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild
Founded in 1983, the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild is a professional association of serious composers with objectives to promote and cultivate music composition in Hong Kong. The current membership figure is 90. Apart from organizing concerts, publishing scores and producing recordings of works by Hong Kong composers, the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild also takes an active part in arousing interest in composition especially amongst youths and in developing music as a vital creative art form in Hong Kong. It has also established strong links with many international organizations and has played a significant role in international music exchanges.
Apart from being the Founding Member of the Asian Composers League which includes 11 official member countries/regions (Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand), the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild is a National Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music which was founded in 1922 in Salzburg, Austria. At present, both international organizations are chaired by Hong Kong composers. The Hong Kong Composers’ Guild also co-operates with RTHK to send a composer as representative to the International Rostrum of Composers organized by UNESCO in Paris each year.
