一年一度的新加坡移工诗歌赛决赛又将在2018年12月15-16日于新加坡举行。决赛与去年一样，将在国家美术馆举行。但与往年不同且值得大家拭目以待的是，国际首例国际移民节GlobalMigrant Festival (GMF) 也将在同一天于新加坡举行。国际移民节以艺术表演，讲座和对谈的形式呈现，与会者包括亚洲和国际上的低薪客工群体和难民群体来的艺术家，移民主题方面的学者，及公益组织的社会工作者等。移民主题的电影也将是国际移民节的一部分。
希瓦吉达斯，国际移民节的创始者和组织者说，“在当今之世，常规及非常规的人口流动已成为一个重要的趋势和问题，对出发国和目的国在社会，文化，经济和政治等方面都有深远的影响。
年度新加坡移工诗歌赛决赛也会是国际移民节的一部分。自2014年起，这个独特的诗歌赛的一些往届参赛者继续在新加坡的文学届散发光彩。他们展示作品，参与像新加坡作家节这样的活动并与其他艺术家合作。近年来，类似新加坡移工诗歌赛的活动也在马来西亚，台湾，香港，肯亚等地涌现。这些比赛的一些参赛者也会受邀来新参加国际移民节。
通过此活动与其它多个地点的活动，国际移民节期望推动文化多样性，提供低薪资移工和难民可发声的平台，探讨移民的健康，经济，安全，性别角色等主题，并在目前世界上有关移民问题占主导的尖刻陈述中，促进更广阔和有建设性的对话。
