The place where the event is held.

Well it's basically a event special catered to Youths by Youths, and this year theme is Aspirations. It is to inspire young people to dream big and take the risk while retaining their own unique attitudes, values and beliefs and translating all these into actions and contributions.

Just for your information there will be a festival during 30th June 2012 all the way to the end of July at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza. It's a one whole month worth of fun and exciting events!

For Shine Youth Festival 2012 there are 2 ideas they are focusing on.

Pitch to SHINE.

It was launched early this year to identify and fund youth projects that promote worthy causes and make difference in the community, A total of 16 projects with themes "Youth Culture", "Youth Sports" and "Youth Action" will be carried out during SHINE 2012. 

Because of this they have disbursed about $180000 to the 16 projects. Making a difference to the community.
