Dear friends,

A huge THANK YOU for journeying with us this year! We could not have made it through such a challenging year without your support, friendship and belief in our mission. 

It was a year full of disruptions and uncertainties, but in spite of them, we also achieved many milestones, including the online editions of the Singapore Literature Prize (SLP) and Asian Festival of Children’s Content (AFCC). A recap of our journey in 2020 can be found in this short video. Click the image below to play it!

As part of our 52nd birthday, we commissioned SLP-winning poets 吴耀宗 (Gabriel Wu), Marylyn Tan, Samsudin Said and சுபா செந்தில்குமார் (Subha Senthilkumar) to pen poems based on the theme "To-gather". You can read their poems and catch their readings here.

We wish you a very happy and peaceful holiday season!

We look forward to seeing you at our events in 2021!

All best wishes,
The SBC team
