The NUS Singapore Prize and the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize

singapore prize

Singapore Prize is a biennial award given to authors for outstanding published works in Chinese, English or Malay. The winner of this competition receives both a cash prize as well as an engraved trophy. It is Singapore’s second highest literary prize, after the Epigram Books Fiction Prize.

A healthy civil society requires individuals who are committed to their communities and, at pivotal moments, will put the common good before their own interests. This award recognizes and encourages such altruism.

The NUS Singapore History Prize is awarded by a jury of five judges appointed by the President of NUS. The prize is meant to highlight and reward the best research in Singapore history. The winning paper will be based on original and creative work, and the judges will take into account its wider impact in the field of Singapore history.

This year’s winners of the NUS Singapore History Prize were announced at a ceremony in May at the National Museum of Singapore. The prize was awarded to papers that examined key issues and developments in Singapore’s past, including the impact of global events on the city-state and its people. The winner was chosen from the shortlist of papers which had been nominated earlier in the year.

In his opening remarks at the ceremony, NUS President Koh Poh Chee thanked the prize’s jury for its work and congratulated them on producing such outstanding research. He also acknowledged the contribution that this research makes to Singapore’s intellectual heritage and the development of its citizens.

NUS also announced the 2024 shortlist of the NUS Singapore History Prize, which includes seven books and a film. The shortlist was curated by the NUS History Department, and included titles such as Seven Hundred Years of Singapore (2019) by Kwa Chong Guan, Tan Tai Yong, Peter Borschberg and Derek Heng; Sembawang (2020) by Kamaladevi Aravindan; Home Is Where We Are (2020) by Jeremy Tiang; and Imperial Creatures (2019) by Timothy P. Barnard.

The NUS History Prize is supported by the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, which is presented to cities that demonstrate leadership in creating liveable, sustainable and vibrant urban communities. This year’s prize was awarded to Vienna.

On Monday, November 6, prominent buildings across the Lion City lit up green to mark the arrival of this year’s 15 Earthshot Prize Finalists and celebrate their inspiring work on solving the planet’s biggest environmental challenges. This kicks off Earthshot Week in the city, featuring a series of special events and initiatives to showcase sustainability successes and capture the spirit of the prize’s vision. The event is co-hosted by United for Wildlife and NUS. For more information, visit here. The full list of participating buildings can be found here. NUS is proud to support this global initiative. This is one of many ways that we contribute to the social well-being of Singaporeans. NUS’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities include education, healthcare and the arts. We also provide funding to community organisations to carry out social service and welfare work in our local neighbourhoods and beyond.

Sydney’s Hidden Gems

Swimming pools are a vital part of Sydney’s culture and offer a safe place to swim and exercise. They can also be used to cool off from the summer heat and are an essential feature for most modern homes. But not all pools are created equal. It is important to hire a custom pool builder that listens to your ideas while making sure everything complies with regulations and codes. This will help you create the backyard paradise of your dreams and save time and money in the long run.

Sydney is teeming with venues for what Kate Rew, founder of Britain’s Outdoor Swimming Society, describes as “wild swimming.” These rocky ocean pools on the city’s southern and northern coastline are less controlled than indoor public pools and are treasured by swimmers, artists, beachgoers, and families alike. They host recreational and competitive swimming, learn-to-swim programs, and treasured forms of wave-play. They are a place to swim, sunbake, snorkel, socialise, and get acquainted with the plant and animal life on Australia’s rocky shores.

These natural rock formations, sculpted by the tide, are known as Sydney’s “natural lungs” and provide an ideal alternative to overcrowded beaches. They’re popular for swimming and are also ideal places for a picnic or to simply relax under the sun without being hassled by crowds or traffic. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, be sure to make time to visit one of these hidden gems!

There’s no better way to experience Sydney than by visiting its many beautiful and secluded sidney pools. These iconic locations are a must-visit when you’re planning your next trip to the city! You’ll find them all over the city, so be sure to check them out when you visit!

The first public ocean pool in Australia opened in 1846, and was located at the Fig Tree Baths in the heart of the city. This pool was the first to host official competitive swimming events, and has become an iconic landmark for Sydney. Today, the Fig Tree Baths is considered the oldest swimming pool in the world, and continues to play an important role in the history of Australian sport and swimming.

As the popularity of these swimming pools increased, more were established along the Sydney coastline. In 1906, the men’s and women’s Amateur Swimming Associations formed, and the number of swimming clubs that operated at ocean pools grew as well. The interwar period saw shark meshing and aerial patrols introduced at all Sydney’s metropolitan beaches, but this didn’t diminish support for ocean pools. Instead, the introduction of these additional measures highlighted the need for durable beach safety features.

If you’re thinking about installing a pool in your backyard, it’s important to select the best pool builder in the area. A professional will listen to your ideas and make sure the finished product complies with all local, state, and federal regulations. They’ll also be able to guide you on the most cost-effective and efficient ways to construct your swimming pool. In addition, they will ensure that your pool is a source of enjoyment for years to come.
