This year marks 30 years of the Singapore Prize, and this year’s theme is resonance. According to organizers, they selected this theme in order to demonstrate how literature can evoke emotions and memories, while simultaneously encouraging readers to connect with local literary scenes and communities in Singapore.
On Tuesday night in Singapore, five winners of the Earthshot Prize were honored at an award ceremony hosted by Prince William of Britain to encourage inventors and entrepreneurs to create technologies that combat global warming. Projects honored include those focused on waste-free world creation, cleaning the air, fixing climate change issues, rejuvenating ocean ecosystems and protecting nature.
Each winner of the Earthshot Prize Council was selected from 15 finalists to win one million dollars to further their project.
This year marks the second time this award has been bestowed upon a local author; Ms Hidayah won in 2018 for her book Singapore And The Silk Road Of The Sea after five years spent writing it and interviewing more than 100 former residents from Kampong Glam district – “making Ms Hidayah’s work the first in Singapore to focus specifically on this unique area of our city,” as stated by professor Kishore Mahbubani’s NUS Asia Research Institute that has hosted both prizes ceremonies over time.
Ms Hidayah earned praise for her ability to communicate complex histories in clear language. This year she was shortlisted in three categories and two languages — for English fiction, English creative nonfiction and Chinese poetry — while she made history by becoming the first writer ever chosen as favorite in two categories and languages simultaneously.
Prince William arrived in Singapore for the third annual Earthshot Prize awards he founded to recognize environmental innovators working to combat global warming and save the planet. When he stepped off the plane at Jewel Changi Airport he was met by cheering fans displaying photos of late mother Princess Diana or waving British flags; some even held photos in honor of Princess Diana while waving British flags as he waved. President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will meet him during their four day visit at Istana for meetings during which he will meet President Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to meet him there during four day visit.
