Online competitions to challenge yourself and showcase your talents during circuit breaker

For some of us, being holed up at home has made it increasingly difficult to be motivated to do anything.

If you need something to give you that extra boost, here are a few online competitions to challenge yourself at home, and you could even win some attractive prizes. Submissions for some of these contests will end very soon, so hurry!

Being isolated at home shouldn’t stop you from sharing your talents with the rest of the world!

Advertised as the first of its kind in Singapore, the Ogirinal Talent Show might just be the perfect stage for your big shot at fame. Be it playing the violin or showcasing magic tricks, the competition is open to showcase any talent, with the overall winner walking away with $500. Submissions for the talent show have already begun and will conclude on May 11.

For more information and submissions, visit the contest’s official website here.

Tired of singing in the shower with no audience to serenade and want to help the community out in these trying times? Give the SingForSG virtual charity talent competition a shot!

Participants are to submit a video of their performance before May 11. Entries are then narrowed down to the top 20 finalists, where they will perform on a special live stream show and compete for $2000 in prizes. Not only will the competition look to find the next Singapore Idol, it will also seek to raise funds for The Food Bank Singapore. You can make your donations through this link.

Visit SingForSG’s Facebook page for more information about the competition and for submission.

Staying in is not an excuse not to stay fit! Take a video of yourself or with your family following along with Therapy Assistant Haziq’s simple but effective home exercises, and stand to win a set of a Singapore Heart Foundation red shoe bag and a Go Red for Women microfibre towel.

Competition ends on May 10 and only the first 100 completed and qualified entries will be awarded with prizes so don’t procrastinate! Find out more about the video contest on its website.

Put your Instagram skills to the test with the #StayHome Smartphone Photography Contest! With up to $4500 worth of prizes on the line, the contest will be looking for a photo that captures what #StayHome means to you.

So look around the house and let your creativity shine! Submissions for the competition are now open until May 26. Check out the contest’s website for more information.

Not to leave the younger ones in the family out, BMW Singapore’s colouring contest is the perfect activity to share with a younger sibling – especially with the May holidays now underway.
