REQUIREMENTS:

Fiction or factual entries welcome.
Draw on materials from the National Archives of Singapore
In your entry, simply reference a material/s from the National Archives — be it a document, photo, map, or other audio-visual material. Your entry can be inspired by historical materials or draw upon events and characters for a fictional story — it's up to you!
For example, the story premise can be an alternative history of a war hero. Or what if Singapore was colonised by France. Or using a Chinatown gangster as a fictional character.
In essence, you can draw story ideas as and how you wish from the National Archives. There is no limit how much or how little. Just indicate the material in the form.
