See the winners of the Wiki Loves Living Heritage Singapore photography competition
The traditions, culture, and art of Singapore come alive in the photos from the Wiki Loves Living Heritage competition. Throughout June and July, nearly 150 participants from across Singapore submitted over 1,000 photos of their country’s living heritage. These photos document the monuments, rituals, practices, and other expressions passed down across generations, enriching the presence of Singapore living heritage online. The competition was held in partnership with the National Youth Award Association (NYAA) of Singapore and Singapore’s National Heritage Board (NHB). Wikimania attendees viewed the photos on display in Singapore and voted on the winners, who were announced at the closing ceremony. Check out the winning photos!
