Singapore's Merlion, reimagined by its people.
Dawn Sentinel is a local IP development project under the WoW Creative Community. We engage the community — from students and seniors to creatives and everyday Singaporeans — to share how they envision a futuristic and modern version of Singapore's iconic Merlion.
Through design submissions, community workshops, and open creative briefs, Dawn Sentinel collects these visions and shapes them into a collectively owned IP — a new Merlion character that reflects Singapore's people, values, and aspirations.
The result is more than a character — it is a living symbol co-created by the community it represents, with government partner support and a vision to become Singapore's next iconic mascot.
