About The Awards

The Patron of Heritage Awards are specially conceived by National Heritage Board (NHB) to celebrate the wonderful donations and contributions of selfless individuals and organisations who have given to heritage causes.

Over the years, the heritage and museum sector has grown steadily in strength. More people are visiting museums in Singapore, and participating in heritage events and activities. The flourishing of the heritage scene would not have been possible without the generosity of donors, benefactors and volunteers.

The time has therefore come for a premier award at the national level to honour and rejoice in these individuals and organisations that played a key role in making heritage accessible, informative and inspiring to all.

Scope Of The Awards
