The prize for a win in a Singapore sweepstakes is one of the highest in the world. However, there are laws that regulate gambling. In order to avoid violating these laws, you must understand the rules of the game. The best way to do this is to find out the rules of the contest before you sign up. You can also check out the terms and conditions of each contest to make sure that you are not infringing on any laws. In addition, there may be tax implications for the prize winner.
SINGAPORE — Home-grown translators and comic-book authors now have a chance to win one of Singapore’s most prestigious literary awards. The 2024 edition of the Singapore Literature Prize (SLP) has added new categories to recognise and promote increasingly diverse published works in the country’s four official languages. This includes a translation category as well as one for debut writers. The organisers have also added a category for children’s literature.
In a first for the prize, the NUS Singapore History Prize has appointed Conservation International as its partner in the search for winners. The global organisation brings with it a track record of spotlighting and securing the benefits of nature for humanity. It will help guide the selection process and connect the Prize with its vast network of partners committed to scalable, innovative solutions for people and planet.
NUS is offering a S$50,000 prize for non-fiction works that explore the city-state’s unique history. Submissions can be in any language but should focus on the nation’s development over the past 50 years and beyond. The winner will be selected by a five-member panel including the Prize founder, Kishore Mahbubani; Professor John Miksic of NUS Department of History; Prof Tan Tai Yong of the Singapore University of Social Sciences; and economist Dr Lam San Ling.
In addition to a cash prize, the winners will be recognised in a ceremony at the National Museum of Singapore. Guests will include celebrities, such as actor Cate Blanchett and actresses Donnie Yen and Lana Condor.
The prize is supported by a range of partners including the Temasek Foundation, GenZero and Conservation International. The winning projects spanned a wide spectrum, from reducing food waste to making electric car batteries greener. They are all part of the wider Earthshot movement, aimed at tackling climate change and its devastating effects on our planet. The Prince of Wales, whose foundation is the founding donor of the prize, led the celebrations in Singapore on Tuesday. He walked the “green carpet” alongside stars and founders of the projects. He said the solutions showcased showed that hope remains as the world battles climate change. He said the prize finalists were inspiring, adding that they “are going to make a difference”. The Earthshot Prize was launched in 2020 by the Prince’s Royal Foundation charity and the Breakthrough Energy Prize. The inaugural winners included solar-powered dryers, a solution to ocean waste and a battery that reduces carbon dioxide emissions from cars.
