A Child view on World Heritage: Macau Drawing Contest for Children 2011 is organized by the Headquarters of the Macau Cultural Creative Industry Association. Its objective is to bring awareness of the World Heritage, a relic of modern civilization, to the children of Macau.

The betterment of social cohesion and strengthening of Macau’s cultural and creative industries are the cornerstones of our intellectual freedoms. Based on these principles, a non-profit organization known as the Headquarters of the Macau Cultural Industry Association has been established. One of our goals is to organize more culture-promoting activities in order to build a platform on which to harbor long-term development of artistic fluency and etiquette liberation. At the same time, we are determined to bridge regional and national organizations in pursuit of the same goal, in order to encourage cooperation opportunities where they may be found.

Macau’s historic cityscape was listed in the UNESCO World Heritage in 2005. The constructions included Chinese temples, churches and architecture uniquely blended with eastern and western elements. Its existence resulted from the impact and exchange of various cultures in Macau hundreds of years ago which are non-replaceable.

We have been immersed and living in this cultured land, yet what it looks like in the innocentn eyes of a child and what feeling relics of this old land inspire in them is a question worth answering.

Master Picasso once said, “Everybody would like to draw like a master, but the master would like to draw like a child.” A child’s mind is free to do as it wishes and this is exactly what we want to encourage. We sincerely hope that our children can draw the bits of heritage they love the most. They must be proud of their home in order for its spirit to be passed to the next generations like the spirits of our ancestors.
