About Let’s Read 2025
Initiated three years ago, the "Let’s Read" festival returns this year with the theme "Splendid Days", running from May 31 to June 30, 2025. The event is proudly supported by the National Youth Council of Singapore, the ZEROX Crypto Asset Platform, and the OGBC Innovation Center.
"Let’s Read" is a hybrid reading initiative that combines online collective reading with offline events, enhanced by a points and rewards system. Participants engage with a curated list of required and optional books, sharing their reading progress, reflections, and insights through an online platform. By completing reading tasks and submitting their thoughts within designated timeframes, readers earn points that can be redeemed for various rewards._________________________________________________________________________________
