The NUS Singapore History Prize (hereafter The Prize) is a literary award for works of non-fiction in English by creators from any country. It is administered by the Department of History of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore. The Prize is designed to cast a wide net in order to identify and recognise outstanding works that deal with Singapore history, while at the same time aiming to be accessible to general readers.
The winner of this year’s prize will be announced at a ceremony in Singapore in November. A special exhibition of winning entries will also be displayed.
Toto (stylized as TOTO) is the legalised form of lottery sold in Singapore, known by different names elsewhere. It is operated by Singapore Pools and is the second most popular form of gambling activity in Singapore after 4-Digits. Profits from Toto are used for charity and other worthy causes. It is not allowed to play Toto with unauthorized funds or if you have a pre-existing debt. The Singapore government has taken measures to prevent money laundering through the lottery, including requiring players to submit their personal details and verifying them before allowing them to play.
During his visit, Prince William will see the Rain Vortex – the world’s highest indoor waterfall – and meet local groups working to protect the planet. He will also be presented with a tree planted in his honor by the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize, which honours those who contribute to preserving our water supply.
He created the Earthshot Prize three years ago to encourage inventors and entrepreneurs to develop technologies that can combat climate change and protect the planet. He picked Singapore as the location for this year’s awards because it is a hub for innovation in Southeast Asia. The ceremony will be held on Nov 7, and the city will be lit up green to mark the occasion.
The prize will be a digitally minted gold coin. Besides the money, winners will receive a certificate highlighting their accomplishments and a trophy that celebrates the spirit of entrepreneurship and community. The winner of the prize will be selected by a panel of judges. In addition, the winning work will be published and displayed in various places, including at the Singapore Art Museum. The winning work will be considered for future editions of the prize.
