The Singapore HEALTH Award is a national platform that celebrates commendable health promotion achievements of health-promoting partners across three outreach settings – Pre-schools, Workplaces and the Community. The next cycle of the Awards will be in 2024 and the call for applications will happen in early 2024.

[For Schools - Healthy Pre-Schools (Platinum) awards]

This award recognizes pre-schools that have been accredited “Platinum” consecutively for three cycles under HPB’s Healthy Pre-school Accreditation Framework. Awardees have provided a supportive environment to ensure that pre-schoolers have access to healthy meals and active lifestyles in school, implemented interventions to help pre-schoolers maintain a healthy weight, as well as capacity-building initiatives for parents, teachers and staff members.

[For Workplaces – Organisational Champion awards]

This award recognizes companies from both private and public sectors, SMEs and non-SMEs, as well as landlords and developers; for their efforts in bringing health and wellness programmes to workplaces, making healthy living more accessible to half a million workers in Singapore. To elevate the prestige of the awards in SHA 2022, the recognition structure comprises these categories:

Organisational Champions The evaluation is a benchmark process amongst the submissions in each SHA cycle, and not based on prescribed or definite “best practices”	Achievement Award Seeks to recognize companies that have displayed all-roundedness in health promotion Companies must have been awarded “Excellence” for the last 2 consecutive SHA cycles (i.e SHA 2017 and 2019) Recipients of two consecutive “Achievement” awards will be exempted from SHA for the next two cycles, and can only apply on the third cycle
	Excellence Award Seeks to recognize companies that have displayed health promotion efforts in most, if not all, health categories There is evidence of efforts in all the components of evaluation: Positioning of Workplace Health, Programme Planning, Programme Comprehensiveness, and Evaluation

[For Community - Health Ambassador Recognition awards]

This award recognizes Health Ambassadors who contributed significantly to the promotion of healthy living in the community. Their contributions include organising health-related interest groups as well as supporting community mental well-being initiatives to equip Singaporeans with tips and knowledge on healthy living.
