KLue brings you again our third annual Blue Chilli awards, where we aim to uncover the next wave of young talented individuals who have made strong contributions in their respective industries. Think you know anyone who fits the bill? KLue Blue Chilli 2008 brings you the chance to highlight your own list of nominees; it doesn’t matter if it’s an ingenious filmmaker, an innovative designer or a social activist. We want to find the next Jimmy Choo or even the next Michelle Yeoh!

This isn’t your typical talent contest. Over the past 2 years, we have discovered outstanding Blue Chillies from various fields. In 2006, we had the energetic gig organiser Reza Salleh, the lively activist Mien Lor, and the extraordinary visual artist Sharon Chin. 2007 saw the Blue Chilli winner’s spotlight on Ng Khai Lee, a buzzing social entrepreneur.

The 10 Blue Chilli finalists for 2008 have been uncovered, click here to check it out! The diverse and deserving bunch include a fashion designer, activists, theatre director, social entrepreneur, net voyeur, lighting designer, musician, indie marketer and music label owner.

Also, make sure you drop by the KLue booth at Urbanscapes this 28 June at KLPAC and check out a showcase of the different achievements from our finalists.
