In his speech at the awards ceremony, William will highlight how the 15 finalists – whose solutions range from solar-powered dryers to combat food waste to making electric car batteries cleaner – showed hope for the future of our planet.

The NUS Singapore History Prize is an open global competition that seeks to spur interest in Singapore’s rich history among non-academic audiences. The prize is administered by the Department of History at NUS and was launched in 2014.
In addition to a cash prize, winners will be given an opportunity to speak at a public event and appear on a special book cover. They will also be invited to a dinner with the Department of History and the NUS community.
This year’s winners include 91-year-old National University of Singapore professor emeritus Peter Ellinger, who won the Best English Debut for Down Memory Lane: Peter Ellinger’s Memoirs (2023).

Among the other winning books are a collection of poems by Cyril Wong, whose novel Beachlight won the 2024 Singapore Literature Prize. His work evokes the anxieties of contemporary life, from the stresses of the job market to family problems, with the language infused with local flavours. He told Rice Media that the award meant “a lot to me as a writer and a Singaporean.”
