The Singapore Prize is an biennial award presented to authors for outstanding published works in Chinese, English or Malay. Sponsored by the National Book Development Council of Singapore and supported by its government, it serves as Singapore’s second highest literary prize after Epigram Books Fiction Prize – its winner receives both cash prize of $3,000 as well as an engraved trophy.
Judges awarded not only the top award but also selected two additional honorees from among all films nominated in each category: jury special mention and audience choice winner. This year’s festival also included a short film category; its winning entries will be screened later.
Before, this festival was exclusively available to residents of Singapore; this year however it will open to everyone around the world and offer screenings, workshops, and discussion sessions for all audiences. Organisers hope that more cities around the globe will host these festivals in future years.
First-ever in the competition’s history to include a short film category, organizers anticipate more entries for future competitions. Already they’ve planned for their next competition to take place in Malaysia with hopes to eventually expand it to other countries as well. This festival boasts an outstanding reputation in Asia as one of the premier international film festivals held there.
As well as honoring design innovation, these awards will also honor projects completed within the last year and showcase global interior design at its best. Winners will have the opportunity to present their project live at WAFX 2023; WAFX is held alongside Inside World Festival of Interiors.
The NUS Singapore History Prize was created in 2014 and administered by the Department of History within NUS’ Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. This prize seeks to broaden definitions of what constitutes history by inviting writings that cover many perspectives and themes pertaining to Singapore’s past, from both new and established writers alike.
Due to Indonesia’s internet censorship laws, SGP 4d website cannot currently be directly accessed from Indonesia. Bettor can still gain access to it by using a VPN service; thus enabling them to watch the result of Toto SGP Horiya without any restrictions or obstruction.
In its past, this festival honoured films that were controversial or confronting. For instance, in 2022 it gave “Motherfucker Putin, Motherfucker Ukraine!” special mention for its criticism of Russia’s policies toward homosexuals and other minority groups. Since then however, the selection process and winners has become more inclusive; 2018’s lineup offers everything from thrillers and documentaries to shorts that focus on issues surrounding gender and sexuality.
