Pann Lim.jpgThe Singapore-based Gong Creative Circle Awards has elected Pann Lim, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Kinetic Singapore as the chairman for this year’s awards.

A man of many talents and passions, Lim (pictured) is an industry veteran with close to 20 years of experience. He is a two-time President’s Design Award winner, and has won over 400 international and local awards, including a Yellow Pencil at the 2016 D&AD Awards. He runs an integrated advertising agency as well as a retail store and art gallery.

Lim is also part of an art collective, Holycrap.sg. His passion runs deep in the things he puts his hands on; he is an Indie publisher, curator and educator. Lim is no stranger to giving back and guiding young talent stepping out into this industry. He was an adjunct lecturer at Temasek Polytechnic, and is now part of the School of Design’s Advisory Committee.

And it is this passion for the work he does and things he believes in that propelled Lim to look into what he could do to make the Gong Creative Circle Awards more inclusive and more afforable to the smaller studios and agencies.

Lim, a co-founding member of The Design Society (TDS), together with invaluable support from the current TDS executive committee, has spearheaded a significant change to this year’s Gongs with this year’s entry fees for Design categories reduced to S$200 instead of the regular S$300 (GST inclusive for both prices). This revised entry fee is open to all 4As and TDS members. Currently, membership to TDS is free.
