The biennial Goh Sin Tub Creative Writing Prize was established by Dr Sylvia Goh with an endowed gift to the Department of English Language and Literature at the National University of Singapore in memory and recognition of her late husband, Goh Sin Tub, who was one of Singapore’s best-known local writers. Goh Sin Tub and Dr Sylvia Goh are both alumni of the University of Malaya (UM), one of NUS’ predecessor institutions. The Prize commemorates Goh Sin Tub’s life, achievements and support for education.

The genre for the Inaugural Competition is short stories. Subsequent competitions will feature other literary genres. The competition is open to all members of the NUS community at the time of submission of entry.  In total, fifty-nine qualifying entries from 43 participants were received in this year’s competition.
