English term or phrase: Cool Singapore Award
The Singapore Tourism Board has introduced an award for best practices to ensure rigorous precautionary measures are being taken against SARS in tourist establishments in Singapore. This award, known as the "COOL Singapore" Award, will be introduced across Singapore, in hotels and other tourism facilities.
Any good idea of translation in Japanese?
SARS対策に取り組んでいるシンガポール国内の施設やホテルに対して､表彰する取り組みですが､何か日本語でのよいアイデアあればお聞かせください。

イケてるシンガポール賞
Explanation:
I will propose a brand-new name for this award, if you are asked to give a more Japanese-like name. Since "クール" in Japanese also means coldness, I may suggest "イケてる" for "cool". It would be catchy and appealing, in particular, to younger generations.
