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:
“My first big mistake was made when, in a moment of weakness, I consented to learn the game; for a man who can frankly say “I do not play bridge” is allowed to go over in the corner and run the pianola by himself, while the poor neophyte, no matter how much he may protest that he isn’t “at all a good player, in fact I’m perfectly rotten,” is never believed, but dragged into a game where it is discovered, too late, that he spoke the truth.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
