Singapore Literature Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Singapore Literature Prize (abbreviation: SLP) is an award in Singapore to recognise outstanding published works by Singaporean authors in any of the four official languages: Chinese, English, Malay and Tamil.
The competition is organised by the National Book Development Council of Singapore (NBDCS) with the support of the National Arts Council and the National Library Board.
The Award was briefly discontinued in 1999 due to economic problems. [1]
