The Hong Kong Golden Dragon Awards was founded in 2014 by the Association of Librarians in English Speaking Schools (ALESS) in Hong Kong.
This program came about after lengthy and passionate discussions amongst our ALESS group members about how to promote the incredible quality of international young people's literature available to our students here in Hong Kong. We had also noticed similar associations in Asia were thinking along the same lines and we have links to their awards program. (see "Other Awards" page)
The Hong Kong Golden Dragon award aims to be a fun and exciting way for internationally-minded young Hong Kong people, between the ages of 4 - 18, to become enthusiastic and discriminating readers.

Vale Debbie Alvarez
[1973 - 2015] International champion of children's literature. |
It is with great sadness that the ALESS (HK) group marks the passing of one of their precious members, Dec 22 2015.
We were lucky beyond compare to have Debbie join our group for 3 years and indeed become the passionate force behind the Hong Kong Golden Dragon Awards inauguration. To celebrate her life's work towards children's literature, we have named the open award for Picture Books after our beloved Debbie. Sadly missed but never forgotten.
