The Next Big Things
In 2010, Muse launched its inaugural ‘The Next Big Things’ election. The magazine solicited public nominations for what they considered to be ‘next big things’ in the local arts scene: the people, concepts, ideas, projects and events which were to make the greatest positive cultural impact. On June 29, 2010, an awards ceremony was held, bestowing awards to local screenwriter Christine To Chi-long (杜緻朗), HKAPA Dean of Drama, Tang Shu-wing (鄧樹榮), and the Hong Kong Photo Festival 2010. The following year, the Muse ‘Next Big Things’ election was conducted entirely online, through Facebook. The winner, announced on November 30, 2011, was Hong Kong indie band my little airport, and three honorable mentions were named: theater group FM Theatre Power (好戲量), actress Joman Chiang (蒋祖曼), and Leung Ping-kwan (也斯), an influential poet, novelist, and teacher.

Famous quotes containing the word big:
“Tom: All right, boys. C’mon. Why don’t you say I’m a yellow belly and a big mouth at that?
Shep: You yellow? Who thinks you’re yellow? Did you hear what he said? A guy who’s got the nerve to marry? That’s more than Flash Gordon ever did.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
