A wide range of awards and prizes are awarded in Singapore to honour achievements in different fields. These include academics, business people, sportspeople and community leaders. Some of these are national awards, while others are instituted by private organisations and companies. These awards are given in recognition of an individual’s contribution to society, while others are presented for a particular achievement or contribution. Some of these awards are monetary, while others are presented with a trophy or plaque.
