How Singapore 9 works

For the first time, Yahoo! is opening up the Singapore 9 nominations process to the public. We are looking for hungry, passionate Singaporeans under the age of 35 who are making their mark in the worlds of business, social enterprise or entertainment.

During the opening two-week nomination phase which launches Friday 6th July, you can either nominate yourself or be nominated by someone who thinks you are deserving of this honour.

At the end of two weeks, the list of nominees will be whittled down to the 9 most deserving by our panel of distinguished judges. Singapore will then vote for one winner for each category. The winners will be revealed at our Awards Night on the 3rd of August – the Friday before National Day.
 
Our panel of judges are: Michel Lu of Argentum Group, Elim Chew of 77th Street and respected thespian  Adrian Pang.

Like you, they are people who believed in a project or cause when they were young and through hard work and passion, have achieved success. They know how to spot talent and passion and know what it takes to succeed. Through their experience and industry contacts, they will be able to advise, coach and mentor promising nominees.
