The Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Director is an annual Hong Kong industry award presented to a director who is considered the best of the year.
In 2002 the new category of Outstanding Young Director was created as a way to recognise up-and-coming directors, the first award was presented to Stephen Chow for his 2001 film Shaolin Soccer . Two years later at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards the award was renamed Best New Director and continues to be presented. [1]
