Result Announcement - “A Child’s View on World Heritage” Drawing Contest

 “A Child’s View on World Heritage” Macau Drawing Contest for Children 2011 organized by the Headquarters of the Macau Cultural Creative Industry Association finished on May 31. A total of over 600 pieces of work have been received in which 126 are from the senior category, 279 from the intermediate category and 204 from the junior category. The assessment was successfully completed on June 14.

Our panel of judges for this contest consisted of: Vice President Hei Luk of the Macau Artist Society, Vice Dean Zhichang Pan of the Faculty of Humanities and Arts of the Macau University of Science and Technology, Director Wai-Meng Lau of the Macao Post, Functional Head Edmond Ka-Chon Lo of the Macao Museum of Art, Acting Chief Kent Chi-Kin Leong of the Cultural Activity Dept. of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Macao, Course Coordinator Anita Pou-Chu Fung of the School of Arts of the Macao Polytechnic Institute, Renowned Designer and Charter President Wilson Chi-Ian Lam of Headquarters of the Macau Cultural Creative Industry Association, and local artist Joey Chong-I Ho.

During the judging process, our judges were astonished by the talent and creativity put into each work. They spent ample amounts of time before they could arrive at a decision because each of these works fully expressed a child’s passions towards Macau’s Heritage. The rich and vivid expressions in poster colors, watercolors, crayons, pastels, wood colors, collage and water ink were amazing. The bold and lively use of colors in each submission was interesting and had a unique perspective. Each artwork is filled with naivety and creativity and it is these qualities that will preserve Macau’s heritage for the generations to come. It was especially difficult to choose a clear winner in the junior category so there will be two champions.

The organizers have said that the submissions, from a quantity and quality’s perspective, showed detailed concern and attention to the local art and inspirations of Macau. Whether from the government sector, civil society, educational institutions or individuals, the inspiration was candidly drawn.

The supporting units of this activity consist of: the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macau SAR, the School of Arts of the Macao Polytechnic Institute, the Macao Post, the Macau Art Society and the Faculty of Humanities and Arts of the Macau University of Science and Technology. Sponsors include: Macau Creations, the Welfare Printing Limited, Meow Space, the Ox Warehouse and Pinto Livros actively participated in the distribution of leaflets.
