Have you ever wondered what your neighbourhood looked like before it became what it is today?

The Eyes of a Naturalist competition by Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum invites you to explore just that by reimagining Singapore’s landscapes through time, from rich natural habitats to the spaces we live in today. By reflecting on how our environments and biodiversity have changed, we can better understand our relationship with nature and how we can continue to coexist with the wildlife around us.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁: Choose a location in Singapore, photograph it as it is today, and create an illustration of how it may have looked in the past—highlighting natural habitats, biodiversity, and human–nature interactions.

Stand a chance to win prizes of up to $1,000, and have your work featured in a public showcase exhibition.

Step into the wild side of Pulau Ubin and search for Singapore’s last native wildcat — the elusive Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis). With fewer than 50 believed to remain in Singapore, this is a rare chance to learn about and possibly spot one of our most secretive mammals in its natural habitat.

Journey through Ubin’s rustic kampong paths and forest trails under the night sky, guided by wildlife enthusiasts as we look for glowing leopard cat eyes and other nocturnal wildlife — including mousedeer, civets, fruit bats, sleeping birds, butterflies, snakes and mangrove creatures.

✨ A special Pesta Ubin edition celebrating Pulau Ubin and its incredible biodiversity.
💚 All proceeds support tiger conservation efforts in Malaysia.
