The Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards (Traditional Chinese: 香港電影評論學會大獎) are the annual awards given by the Hong Kong Film Critics Society in Hong Kong, China since 1995. The awards are determined by votes cast in three rounds after a substantial discussion session between the members of the society. The transcript of such discussion can be found in the annual journal of Hong Kong film reviews which is published by the society every year.
Note: These awards are not to be confused with the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Bauhinia Awards organised by the Hong Kong Film Critics Association.
