New Talent Singing Awards

With the emergence of several Asian, Australian and European cities like Shanghai, Melbourne, London, and Amsterdam wanting to be included in the event, in 1997, TVB Hong Kong created the New Talent Singing Awards International Finals 全球華人新秀歌唱大賽.

Also, due to the downsizing of Capital Artists, Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG) took over organising the contest with TVB.

Because of the heavy influence of co-organiser Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG), the Hong Kong regional finals is now simply called EEG Singing Contest 英皇新秀歌唱大賽, completely discarding the "New Talent" part of the English title.

However, a day before the International Finals he pulled out due to sickness, marking it the first time Hong Kong was not represented in the history of the competition.

Below is a list of winners as well as past contestants who have made a contribution to the entertainment business after competing in NTSA.
