Vogue Singapore has long stood as a beacon for creativity in Southeast Asia since its founding in 2020—pushing the boundaries of fashion and culture with purpose-driven narratives and bold visual storytelling. At the heart of this mission lies the Vogue Singapore Foundation, established to nurture local talent, break down barriers to creative education, and amplify voices across the region’s fashion and arts industries.
This July, the Foundation launches its fourth Vogue Singapore Talent Prize, a platform dedicated to uncovering the next wave of Singaporean storytellers—those who experiment, as well as reimagine the world through digital craft. This year’s edition comes once again in partnership with homegrown fashion brand CHARLES & KEITH, a longtime supporter of emerging voices and creative expression.
“We have always sought to inspire creativity by challenging boundaries and boldly experimenting with different expressions and styles, and are passionate about supporting emerging talents in their own journeys to inspire and experiment.” shares Fredie Stevens, Design Director of CHARLES & KEITH.
The 2025 Talent Prize invites all image-makers and digital creatives aged between 18 and 30—be they students, recent graduates, or young professionals—to respond to a single prompt: What does ‘home’ mean to you? From physical space to memory, community, or belonging, applicants are encouraged to submit a visual interpretation of the theme, along with a 100-word description of their work.
Submissions can span across mediums: from photography and videography to illustration, 3D art, digital wearables, animation and beyond.
As a new milestone, this year’s top 30 entries will be showcased on a dedicated microsite launching on 18 August 2025—a rare opportunity for wider exposure on a global platform. From this shortlist, five finalists will be chosen to create a brand campaign for Vogue Singapore, spotlighting products from CHARLES & KEITH. The final winner will be selected via a combination of public voting and expert judging.
Meet the judges
Judges this year include Natasha Damodaran, publisher of Vogue Singapore, Desmond Lim, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Singapore, Fredie Stevens, Design Director of CHARLES & KEITH, Mae Tan, Creative Multi-hyphenate and Vogue Council Member, and Ben Jones, CEO and Founder of The Mandala Group.
The winner of the Vogue Talent Prize 2025 will receive S$3,000 cash prize, S$2,000 in CHARLES & KEITH vouchers, exposure across Vogue Singapore’s digital and print platforms, and an internship at Vogue Singapore.
In addition to the above, the winner will also receive a 1-year complimentary U30 membership at Mandala Club (valued at S$4,876+). A creative haven and members’ club for tastemakers across disciplines, Mandala Club lives by one guiding belief: “Surround yourself with great people in great environments and great things will happen.” Their U30 initiative is designed to foster connection, collaboration and opportunity for the next generation of Singapore’s changemakers.
