About Extraordinary Branding Awards
Driven by Junior Chamber International Queensway, Extraordinary Branding Awards has spent five editions building trusted brand influence for Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area enterprises through awards, public-private exchange, enterprise showcase and media communication.
Extraordinary Branding Awards is a brand recognition and enterprise exchange programme under Junior Chamber International Queensway. Since 2021, it has built an official winner record and brand showcase platform, gradually growing from a single awards event into an annual programme spanning judging, booths, yearbook exposure, exchange visits, media coverage and institutional support.
Across the past five editions, Extraordinary Branding Awards has done more than announce winners. It has placed local brands, growth companies, young entrepreneurs, professional bodies and Greater Bay Area partners into the same exchange setting. As the official gateway, the website continues to organise application details, judging framework, past results, winner pages, supporting institutions and media materials for applicants, sponsors and press reference.
Five-edition Development
The following summary is organised from past public activities, photos and news records, showing how each edition expanded the programme and partnership settings.
The first Extraordinary Branding Awards established the official awards framework, recognising representative brands and enterprises through winner records, ceremony moments and event highlights. It created the foundation for official records, brand endorsement and enterprise showcase in later editions.
The second edition continued brand recognition and attracted broader participation from SMEs, professional services, retail and local signature brands. The programme began placing stronger emphasis on chamber and supporting institution networks, turning awards into useful materials for business introductions and partnership discussions.
The third edition gradually extended the programme into Greater Bay Area topics through exchange, sharing and event records, helping participating companies understand cross-border markets, business environments and brand landing needs. The focus was connecting brand recognition with practical regional cooperation opportunities.
The fourth edition added more featured events, brand sharing sessions and exchange settings, allowing companies to be seen, introduced and discussed before and after the ceremony. The programme accumulated more photos, videos and news materials for media coverage and future winner content.
The fifth edition carried the theme of innovation, intellectual property and Greater Bay Area cooperation, combining the Nansha kick-off, Hangzhou young entrepreneur exchange, brand expo, awards ceremony and multiple supporting organisations, giving participating companies access to innovation, IP, exhibition and regional resources beyond the awards itself.
2026 Direction
