SINGAPORE: A new initiative aimed at attracting professional talent to Singapore has been launched. The Singapore Promise campaign is looking to interest non-Singapore residents living in the United States in immigrating to Singapore. With many opportunities in the Pharmaceutical, Financial, Real Estate Development and Commercial fields, Singapore offers the prospect of lucrative positions in a vastly growing economy, says a press release.

 At the focal point of the campaign is the "Your Singapore Experience Contest." The contest will be a special opportunity to take an all-expenses paid trip to Singapore and learn more about Singapore beyond the tourist sights to gain authentic insights into the many ongoing, dynamic changes in Singapore.

The unique feature of the "Your Singapore Experience Contest" is that apart from getting a genuine taste of Singaporean lifestyle and culture, the winner will also get to meet prominent people in Singapore in specific fields of interest, ranging from scientists and captains of industry to artists and other public figures.

The "Your Experience Singapore Contest" seeks to enable those who are keen to find out more about Singapore beyond the tourist sights to gain authentic insights into the many ongoing dynamic changes in Singapore. This contest is one of many programs aimed at increasing international awareness of Singapore as a leading global city.

The contest will run from August 27 to December 27 and is open to non-Singaporeans residing abroad above the age of 18. Contestants have to submit an entry about an aspect of Singapore that they admire or find interesting, in the form of a text essay, photo essay or a video clip.
