Straits Times unveils sponsors, partners for 2026 Singaporean of the Year award

The Straits Times Singaporean of the Year award, now in its multi-decade run, continues to attract strong institutional support from leading organisations across Singapore's private and public sectors. The award programme brings together sponsors and partners committed to recognising and celebrating the achievements of individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to their communities and the nation.

The sponsorship and partnership framework enables The Straits Times to identify and honour Singaporeans whose personal and professional accomplishments have positively impacted society. Through this collaborative approach, the award maintains its standing as one of the region's most prestigious accolades for individual achievement and contribution.

The award selection process involves rigorous evaluation by a distinguished panel of judges drawn from diverse sectors of Singapore's society. Previous winners have encompassed figures from business, civic leadership, social enterprise, academia, sports and the arts, reflecting the breadth of excellence the award seeks to recognise across the nation.

The 2026 edition of the award reaffirms The Straits Times' commitment to highlighting inspirational Singaporean stories and championing those who embody the values of excellence, integrity and service to community. The award programme remains a key initiative in The Straits Times' broader mission to engage with and celebrate the Singapore public.
