The National Awards Committee will open nominations for this year's National Awards on Wednesday, 25 March, with applications closing at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, 30 April.
This year, applications are exclusively accepted through the President's Office form submission portal. The National Awards Committee urges applicants to pay special attention to submitting all required documentation along with the application form.
Applications will be accepted across 39 primary categories. As in previous years, private individuals, companies, associations, and other entities may submit nominations directly — whether on their own behalf or for others — without going through a Government agency. Government agencies and independent institutions are equally eligible. The National Awards will be presented at the official function marking National Day.
Following the nominations deadline, the National Awards Committee will open nominations for the National Award for Public Service, scheduled for 6 May.
