- Collaborate to Compete” special category to underscore importance of partnerships in driving success in Asian financial markets
- 5th annual edition of Awards part of SGX Group’s efforts to foster financial education and empower investors
Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) today launched the fifth edition of its annual SGX Orb Awards to recognise excellence in financial journalism and content. For this year’s special category, content producers are invited to share their stories on how collaboration, partnerships and an ecosystem mindset is driving success in Asian markets and shaping Singapore’s role as an international financial centre.
World financial markets are rapidly evolving as new and emerging technology brings both disruption and opportunity across multiple asset classes. Market participants are increasingly finding value in working together – often with the new entrants – to build scale, expand their global reach and raise their service offering.
Launched in 2018, the SGX Orb Awards welcomes published work from the print and broadcast media, online news sites backed by publishing or editorial companies, as well as independent writers such as bloggers or investment websites. Each year, the awards attract submissions from local and international content producers that include written pieces, audio-visual work and illustrations.
Judging will be conducted by a distinguished independent panel. Members of the public can nominate and vote for their preferred entries among shortlisted contenders, and the winners in five categories will be unveiled in October 2022. More information can be found at https://www.sgx.com/sgx-orb-awards.
