What is a Singapore Prize?
A singapore prize is a special award that can be given to someone who has done a lot of work in a certain field. The winners of these awards often receive a significant amount of money and recognition for their work. They are also usually able to use the money to improve their lives and those of others. This makes them an important part of our society.
The inaugural Singapore Prize was launched in 2014 by the NUS Department of History. It is awarded to publications that make a substantial impact on the understanding of Singapore history. The organisers are looking for works that resonate with Singaporeans, rather than the usual narrative that focuses on the big figures that changed the nation’s course.
In addition to a cash prize, the winning authors and researchers will also have their work featured in the Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography. This will help to promote their work among a global audience. The journal has already published articles on topics such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and abyssal geography.
This year’s Singapore Prize winners will be announced at a ceremony in November, which will take place as part of the Earthshot Week, a series of events that is being held to mark the launch of a global environmental prize. The prize, which is supported by Britain’s Prince William, supports projects aimed at protecting the planet.
The winner of the best short film will receive a production services package worth SGD15,000 from Shooting Gallery Asia. The other top three finalists will each get SGD9,000 in cash. In addition, the film that receives the most votes from consumers will receive a SGD10,000 cash prize.
More than 4,000 people voted in this round of reader voting, which is roughly twice as many as last year. The winners of this round include alllkunila (Azhagunila), innnpaa (Inbha), Jee Leong Koh, and rma cureess (Rama Suresh).
Inaugurated in 2001 by the National Museum of Singapore, the President’s Young Talents is the country’s only mentoring, commissioning, and award programme for emerging artists. Past alumni and winners of the prize have gone on to develop their careers as well-known artists in Singapore and beyond. This year’s prizes will be presented at a ceremony in December. They will be accompanied by a series of local activations.
