Singapore Design Awards
The Singapore Design Awards (SDA) honours outstanding designers, design students and design practices from across the world, and it remains the leading design award in Southeast Asia. First conceived in 1988 and unveiled by then Prime Minister of Singapore Mr Lee Kuan Yew at the first Singapore International Design Forum, it was an initiative led by the Designers Association Singapore (now Design Business Chamber Singapore) and the Trade Development Board (now IE Singapore).
