The Celebrating Diversity Photo Competition

On 17th January we held the prize ceremony for last year's Celebrating Diversity Photography Competition, the annual community outreach activity organised by our Diversity and Inclusion Committee. This was the 6th year of the competition and the first in-person edition of the prize event since before Covid.

The event was kindly hosted at Eden Hall, the Official Residence of the British High Commissioner to Singapore, Her Excellency Kara Owen CMG CVO, who gave opening remarks.

The Chamber's Official Diversity & Inclusion Partner, Barclays, was represented by Committee Chair Andrew Ashman, who, along with Susana Germino from Prize Partner, Swire Shipping, also made opening speeches before the winners were announced.

 

In order of announcement, the winners:

Most Popular

David Hong, for "Celebrating Diversity in Different Religions"

I passed by this place, and noticed that the three different religions are located side by side each other. This is how in Singapore we celebrate diversity

 

3rd Prize

Ngan Pin Goh for "Wave of Change and Celebration of Diversity and Inclusivity"

-
This was taken at PinkDot 2022. The event has celebrated, advocated for and supported diversity and inclusion of LGBT+ for decades, including the repeal of the 377A law. Glad to see the event coming to life after the pandemic with a sea of supporters

 

2nd Prize

Chek Poh Wong for "Celebrating NDP Together"

Sharing the joy of National Day Parade with your fellow citizens of other races. Celebrating together among various races is something not common in other countries where ethnic disputes often disrupt the harmony across races and religions

Stanley Cheah for "Arts Performance"

At the event, we were joined by over 50 guests enjoying an evening of networking and art, as all the finalist images were on display. Congratulations to all our winners, finalists, and thank you to those who entered the competition!
