This Award is a tribute to distinguished members in recognition of their outstanding talent and contribution to the local music scene. It is presented every year at the CASH Annual Dinner.
Calvin Poon was one of the iconic lyricists of the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s and 90s. Starting with the theme song ‘Warm and Clear Current in the Corrupted World’ for the RTHK TV series Warm and Sweet Collection, to Alan Tam’s ‘Love Trap’ which earned him great popularity, he has written nearly a thousand works and has brought a variety of elements and colours to the culture of Cantopop.
Since the 80s, Calvin’s works, from pop songs to film songs, have filled the airwaves and circulated widely, with numerous classics including ‘She Is Afar’, ‘Behind The Wedding Dress’, ‘Vulnerable Woman’, ‘Who Can Understand A Wanderer’s Heart’, ‘Who Can I Depend On’, ‘My Most Beloved’, ‘With This Love’, ‘Two-Hearted Flower’ and many more, which could be heard in every Chinese community. As well as soft, emotional songs, Calvin has also written many lyrics on non-love subjects related to the city, society and philosophy of life. Songs including ‘We Should Be Very Happy Today’, ‘Ten Fire Fighting Juveniles’, ‘Do You Still Love Me?’ were all significant pieces.
In recent years, Calvin has used the name of Yuan Liangban to cooperate with various singers of the new generation and has written many hit songs. He also organised a concert of derivative works. All these have helped to promote the continuation of Cantopop culture. He keeps on writing one touching song after another for the city, both in good times and bad times.

Cyberattack on the CASH’s Computer Systems
23 Apr 2024
Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong Ltd. (CASH) confirmed that a ransomware attack against its computer system was identified on Sunday afternoon (21 Apr 2024). The attack impacted some of its computer systems and some data was maliciously encrypted and accessed without authorisation. The Society has taken immediate action to shut down all network systems on the same day and appointed an individual cyber security expert team to commence a thorough investigation. Besides, the Society reported the case to the Hong Kong Police Force on that night (21 Apr 2024) and also proactively notified the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data of the incident.
The ransomware note claims to have obtained certain internal data records from the Society’s computer system, including members’ and clients’ data. Since the incident, the Society has been working closely with the individual cyber security expert team for in-depth investigation and recovery, and seeking their professional advice to further strengthen the security measures of the systems. The Society has no evidence that any personal information has been misused.
For further updates, the Society will announce immediately via various channels, including its official website www.cash.org.hk and Member Portal member.cash.org.hk.
