And the Nominees Are...

  15-8-16

The public has voted and chosen the best of the best for the 2015-2016 season! Don't shoot the messenger. 

 

We were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and turnout for this year's ceremony. We had a large amount of turn out for our final categories that were picked by the HKELD readers. Diversity in the voting pool is key in helping The Hecklers stay a fair representation of what audiences in Hong Kong love, so please help us spread the word on voting, so that more people can know about the amazing things happening in Hong Kong's art scene.

 

 

This year has turned out to be a very interesting ballot. We've had 50 different productions nominated, with many new styles of art nominated. We have DJs, painters, sculptors and even banned artists on the list. This year's Hecklers are a perfect representation of the beautiful melting pot that is Hong Kong's art scene. 

To access the ballot and vote, please click here. You may only vote once. (Votes outside of Hong Kong are capped at 10% of the voting pool to keep the voting fair...) If you wish to receive a Heckler invitation, please join our mailing list! Reminder that voting will close on September 15th.

 

Save the date for the ceremony at Orange Peel on September 19th at 8pm!

Congrats to all the nominees!
