This Year's Theme (2026)
Theme: Singapore, The Home I want, The Home I love
We invite your students to explore this exciting question through art, stories, and creative ideas in this year’s learning journey.
This year's competition theme, "Singapore: The Home I Want, the Home I'd Love." invites submissions in essays, pictures and motion media to express your vision of a Singapore that you would truly call home.
What would make you feel safe and happy? What would it take to give you a deep sense of belonging? What kind of facilities, parks, schools or opportunities exist? How will technology and innovation improve and sustain life?
Perhaps there's something magical and unique in your future-verse - let's imagine the the home we want, together!
