Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition (NAPE)

NAPE was established in 2005, an annual exhibition organised by NACC to showcase the worlds and talents of local photographers and to promote photographic arts in Singapore. This provides an open platform for photographers of all backgrounds to present their best works, regardless of age, race  or religion.

There are two public entry categories for NAPE 2026: Open (for participants aged 21 years and above), and Student (for participants aged 10-20 years old). The theme for NAPE 2026 is “Open”. Submission of entries is free of charge.

Submissions are open until 12th April 2026 (Sunday). The NAPE 2026 will be held from 13th to 23rd June 2026 (closed on Sundays) at LASALLE College of the Arts.

Each year, The Ngee Ann Kongsi will acquire selected works from the exhibition to expand its Permanent Arts Collection, demonstrating its continued support for local photographers. Vis this broader public participation, NAPE 2026 seeks to inject fresh ideas and creativity into Singapore’s photography scene.

All submissions will be reviewed by an esteemed panel of advisers, and shortlisted photography works will be exhibited. 

In the year 2025, the 20th NAPE generated strong interest, receiving over 1,020 entries submitted by more than 570 participants – a notable increase from the 700 entries and 416 participants received in 2024.

20th Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition 2025 (NAPE) – My Personal Story and Journey

In year 2025, I participated in the 20th Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition 2025 (NAPE 2025), this was my first time entering, and I was really delighted that my photograph submission was selected for the 20th NAPE! Year 2025 was also an important year, it was Singapore’s 60th year (SG60) celebrations, thus making it more significant for my visual storytelling journey.
