Awards
We present and organise a number of awards to recognise literary excellence across languages and genres. These include literary prizes for children's books like the Hedwig Anuar Children's Book Award to the highest literary honour in Singapore, the Singapore Literature Prize, which encompasses categories for four of the country's official languages: Chinese, English, Malay and Tamil. We also administer regional literary awards in Asia and Southeast Asia.
We believe that literary prizes confer prestige to writers, and elevate literary works to a wider audience while celebrating the power of literature as a reflection of the human condition.
There is no event for this search criteria.
