The Clock Tower by Siew Bee Lim

Captured in August 2018, this photograph highlights the architectural grandeur of the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall’s iconic clock tower in Singapore. The photographer focused on the historical significance of this colonial-era structure, designed by R. A. J. Bidwell, which has served as a cultural cornerstone for the Singapore Symphony Orchestra for decades. By framing the tower against the backdrop of Singapore’s oldest concert hall, the image emphasizes the enduring elegance of the building's design. The photograph is award-worthy for its precise architectural composition, which successfully bridges the gap between historical heritage and modern visual storytelling.
