- Open to all producers of content that demonstrate relevance to Singapore as an international financial hub
- Six categories including awards for best commentary and top financial blogger

Singapore Exchange (SGX) today launched the inaugural SGX Orb Awards to recognise excellence in financial journalism and content, bolstering its work to enhance financial education and empower investors.

Following the theme of "Connecting Perspectives and Inspiring Conversations", the awards are open to all local and overseas producers of content that demonstrate relevance to Singapore as an international financial hub. With the proliferation of social media and mobile technology, everyone now has a voice - and the power to influence those seeking information.

Submissions for six award categories are invited from the print and broadcast media, online news sites backed by publishing or editorial companies, as well as independent writers such as bloggers and investment websites. Members of the public can also nominate entries, and vote for their preferred winner among the final contenders.

Judging will be conducted by a distinguished panel, including senior executives from Deloitte, Google News Lab and Nasdaq. The winners will be announced in June 2018. More information can be found in the appendices and at www.sgx.com/SGX-Orb-Awards.
