A LETTER TO MY FUTURE TAMPINES HOME – Drawing Competition 2025

As part of our SG60 celebrations, we invite you to imagine what our best Tampines could look like in 40 years — when Singapore turns 100 — and bring that vision to life in a drawing that reflects both a Model Town and a Caring Community*.

Write or type a short letter (about 50 words) to your future Tampines Home and submit it with your drawing.

*A Model Town is built to high standards and serves as an example for others. A Caring Community is inclusive, supportive, and a place where everyone feels they belong.

Winning entries will stand to win shopping vouchers and may be featured in the Tampines Town Council 2026 Calendar!
