Judging Panel

This year’s grand final on November 24 will be graced by the seasoned Singaporean actor Christopher Lee, alongside Hong Kong legends Sandra Ng and Raymond Lam, serving as judges. Their impressive credentials are not just titles—they are testimonials of their remarkable careers in showbiz.

Raymond Lam, a multifaceted actor and singer, skyrocketed to fame with his gripping depiction of Qin Shi Huang in the historical drama *A Step Into The Past*. His diverse skill set—encompassing both acting and music—solidifies his position as a major player in the Hong Kong entertainment landscape.
