Since 2020, we have faced many changes in our lives and have had to adapt to new ways of working, learning and interacting with one another. These include scanning QR codes, cashless payments, attending meetings and events online, wearing masks and rigorous hand washing routines to keep safe. As we reflect on how we have come so far, while adapting to changes and hoping for a better future, do you have a story that you wish to tell us?
Titled “My Singapore New Norm”, the 4th edition of the Micro Film Competition hopes to provide a platform for the public to share how their lives have been shaped into the new normal.
The Micro Film Competition focuses on the Singapore Spirit, and encourages people to discover local stories and showcase different facets of Singapore through videos. Entering its 4th edition, the focus of this year’s competition is on the new normal, and participants are invited to share their own interpretation and thoughts of it. The competition also hopes to highlight the perseverance, optimism and adaptability that Singapore and her people have shown during this period.
