EXPLORE Singapore on a virtual online tour, take a quiz, and stand a chance to win a customized trip to the "Lion City" - this is what this year's "Your Singapore Experience" contest offers.
The global contest (www.your-singapore-experience.sg) returns for a second run from January 6 to April 5. It gives non-Singaporeans and non-Singapore permanent residents residing abroad a special opportunity to win a five-day/four-night trip to Singapore that is customized to suit the winner's individual interests. Among the highlights are meetings with leading personalities in selected fields, while being immersed in a truly authentic experience of Singapore.
Apart from a complete, all-rounded experience of the lifestyle and culture of Singapore, two winners of the contest will also get to meet with up to two prominent Singapore personalities in specific areas of their choice during their stay. Each winner is entitled to bringing a partner and will get to experience various aspects of living, studying, working and playing in Singapore. Accommodation, transport and meals according to the customized itinerary will also be covered by the organizer.
The contest aims to deepen non-Singaporeans' impressions of Singapore beyond the country's tourist attractions and to expose them to Singapore's modern and dynamically changing culture and landscape.
One of the seven winners from the first "Your Singapore Experience" contest in 2007 came from China. Bi Suzhi, a 21-year-old communications engineering student at Zhejiang University says he has found Singapore a relaxing and interesting escape.
"Singapore is a very welcoming country," he says. "The atmosphere made us feel totally at home and at ease during our short stay here. The government also has great respect for talent. It is evident in the way it goes about planning for its people - from housing, city planning and allowing its people to pursue their education and careers without any worry about finances."
