The Star Awards for Rocket was an award presented annually from 2010 to 2016 at the Star Awards, where Mediacorp of Singapore recognises entertainers under their employment with awards for artistic and technical merit for outstanding performances of the year.
History The category was introduced in 2010, at the 16th Star Awards ceremony; Elvin Ng received the award for his performance in Together and it is given in honour of a Mediacorp artiste who have made most improvement in the performance of his/her respective field of profession for the past year. The nominees are determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp; winners are selected by a majority vote from the entire judging panel.
