The Stories of a Pandemic (SOAP) Award recognises outstanding published works by writers, photographers and artists related to the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Singapore.

We want to celebrate storytelling that resonates with readers, serves the community and evokes a response, while being accurate, courageous and of service to the community. Nominated work must have been published on any media platform accessible to the public. Blog entries and Facebook posts of at least 300 words are eligible.

Anyone based in Singapore or overseas, Singaporean or non-Singaporean who has published impactful original work that records any aspect of the pandemic in Singapore.

The awards honour individuals who, through their writing, photography or art, recorded significant events in a compelling way, helped readers understand important aspects of the crisis, or raised awareness of important issues as the pandemic unfolded. We hope to compile a meaningful set of stories of the pandemic and how it affected Singapore. These awards are a project of The Majurity Trust.
