The bureau announced that the 15 top-scoring participants in each category (60 winners in total) will receive a prize of 1,000 patacas each, 2 admission tickets to the Macau Grand Prix Museum and some souvenirs.
Running until September 8, participants must submit their items during office hours to the Macau Grand Prix Museum at 431 Rua de Luís Gonzaga Gomes, the statement noted. Each participant may submit up to five items, each in a separate envelope, and each item must havethe completed registration form, the bureau added.
According to the bureau, MGTO will exhibit the award-winning items in public and return them to the participants after the event is over. The statement said that all submitted items will be scanned and photographed for the MGP records and kept while in the museum’s care.
