Awards form an integral part of ASME as we celebrate the success of business owners for their entrepreneurial spirit and exemplary branding efforts.

With that in mind, ASME is at the forefront of bringing recognition and acknowledgement to deserving SMEs at our annual The Entrepreneur of the Year ~ A Rotary-ASME Award and the Singapore Prestige Brand Award. These are two of Singapore’s most prominent business accolades organised by ASME. The Event Management Department is responsible for the smooth running of these two Awards.
In recent years, both Awards have been established as credible yardsticks of success for local enterprises.

The Entrepreneur of the Year ~ A Rotary-ASME Award

Enterprises are key drivers of Singapore’s economy and the entrepreneurs behind the success of these companies play a pivotal role in shaping the local business environment.

Inaugurated in 1989 by the Rotary Club of Singapore, The Entrepreneur of the Year Award (EYA) salutes and honours outstanding local entrepreneurs who have shown dazzling performance as business owners in their chosen field of entrepreneurship.

In 1992, ASME was invited to join hands with the Rotary Club of Singapore as a Co-organiser of the Award, resulting in the creation of The Entrepreneur of the Year ~ A Rotary-ASME Award.

Today, EYA remains one of Singapore’s most prestigious business accolades and is the oldest Award for entrepreneurship. Year after year, selected Candidates are put through a rigorous judging process by a panel of eminent businessmen, academics and distinguished individuals before the Top Entrepreneurs and Overall Winner are finally chosen and honoured at an exclusive Award Presentation Ceremony.

Singapore Prestige Brand Award

Jointly organised by ASME and Lianhe Zaobao, the Singapore Prestige Brand Award (SPBA) honours Singapore brands that have developed a well-recognised brand and managed this brand effectively through various branding initiatives.

With an increasing number of homegrown brands becoming established household names, receiving this esteemed mark of success is certainly a significant milestone in the branding journey of any local brand. The Award also serves as a yardstick for SMEs to benchmark their brand equity against their competitors.

Having established itself as a prestigious branding Award that local brand owners strive to attain, the SPBA continues to be an effective platform for companies who aspire to build strong, sterling brand names locally to aid in expansion plans abroad.

SPBA comprises of four main Award Categories, namely SPBA-Promising Brands, SPBA-Established Brands, SPBA-Heritage Brands and SPBA-CitiBusiness Regional Brands.
