History

The Independent Short Film Competition was first announced by the Urban Council in 1992.[1] The jury panel consisted of Ng Ho, Ann Hui, Allen Fong, Gloria Chan, and Freddie Wong. These awards were presented at the 17th International Hong Kong Film Festival on 8 April 1993.[2]

Simultaneously, the Urban Council provided a grant to the Hong Kong Arts Centre to support their Hong Kong Independent Video Awards, held in association with the Crossover Cultural Institute.[2]

The two competitions were merged as the Independent Short Film and Video Awards in 1995.[3] The name was later changed to "Incubator for Film and Visual Media in Asia".
