For several years the British Chamber of Commerce has been encouraging people of all ages to consider the topics of diversity and inclusion.


The fantastic shortlisted finalists in our most recent edition, which ran from August-November 2019 and garnered 160 entries, submitted thoughtful and relatable photographs and we look forward to hearing the stories behind the images during this event. Her Excellency Kara Owen, British High Commissioner to Singapore, will be announcing the prize winners from among the group of finalists, and we will also be announcing the launch of this year's 5th edition of the competition.


All of the finalists and the winner of the Most Popular Photo have been featured in our 2020 Celebrating Diversity desktop calendar, which was produced by the Chamber and supported by our Diversity & Inclusion Partner Barclays​. We would also like to thank our Video Partner bringing production quality support to this event, AsiaWorks​. 


Join us to celebrate diversity and inclusion in this, our annual community outreach activity.
