N.E.mation! 11
This year, students are asked to use their creativity to produce animation clips centered on the theme of “Together We Keep Singapore Strong“.
Together We Keep Singapore Strong
Total Defence remains relevant because the threats we face today – including
terrorism, cyberattacks, pandemics – require all Singaporeans to continue
playing their part to keep Singapore peaceful and safe. As long as we remain
united and resilient, we will be able to overcome any challenges.
Students are asked to research and submit story ideas on what and how
Singaporeans can do to keep Singapore peaceful and safe, and to reflect on how
our greatest strength lies in the unity and resilience of our people.
Some guiding questions for the students include:
Everyone has a part to play and that includes students.
- There are many things we can do in our daily lives to contribute to
TD – even simple everyday acts like giving your elder brother who is
doing NS some words of encouragement, being alert to suspicious
characters in your neighbourhood, getting to know your neighbours
better, counts.
The animation clips produced by the top 10 finalist teams will be judged by a
panel comprising industry professionals and the public. The public can vote for
their three favourite clips around January 2017 at https://nemation.sg, Facebook
or via SMS.
The winning team will win a coveted trip to visit renowned animation studios
in the USA!
