The Singapore Biology Olympiad has been an annual event since 2000. Each year, several hundred of our top biology students from junior colleges take an initial theory test, from which perhaps several dozen students are shortlisted to take the practical test. Those emerging tops after these two rounds are awarded medals. However, being a medallist at SBO is merely the first step in the selection towards representing Singapore at the IBO! Selected medallists are interviewed and a final shortlist undergo an intensive training programme by dedicated academics from NUS and NIE. Eventually, a "Final Four" and one reserve are chosen to form the Singapore Team. Then it's off to the IBO! For more information visit the official website here .

The glaring difference between a photograph one remembers long after viewing, and one might sadly forget too soon, depends in part on whether the photo convincingly captures a definitive moment in time. As viewers, we long for connection to these moments. In strong photos, a backstory becomes apparent and the tale it tells might evoke an emotional response captivating viewers even further, burning the image into memory, allowing your audience to unfold stories of their own, all in response to your art. In Duggal’s Capture the Moment Contest, we invite you to submit for consideration, a photo of one captured moment. Your image provides a unique record of one moment of inspiration. The story it tells may be abstract, concrete, internal or external – it’s up to you. Capture the moment. For more information visit the official website here .
