The Macau Consumer Council (CC) announced in a statement yesterday that it has opened registration for the 2026 primary school colouring contest titled “Macau and Hengqin Linked by Honesty”, inviting students to submit entries by May 8.
The competition is jointly organised by CC and the Consumer Association of the Guangdong–Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, the statement said.
According to the statement, the contest aims to help students understand initiatives related to certified shops in the In-Depth Cooperation Zone, including the mutual recognition mechanism between certified shops in the two places. The initiative also seeks to strengthen consumer confidence in both regions, noted the statement.
The contest is divided into two groups: lower primary and upper primary. Each category includes an excellence prize, first prize, second prize and five third prizes. Winners will receive vouchers valued at 1,500, 1,200, 1,000, and 500 patacas respectively, along with trophies, the statement said.
Meanwhile, a new “Most Creative Fantastic Item” prize has been added this year for the upper primary group, with two winners each receiving a 500-pataca voucher and a trophy, the statement said, adding that participating schools may also receive a certificate of appreciation encouraging them to promote the competition among students.
Participants are free to create their colouring works using any type of paint and style, provided the artwork is hand-drawn. However, according to the statement, three-dimensional (3D) creations, collages and digital design software are not accepted.
Upper primary participants may also design a “consumer protection item” for characters in their drawings, although this will not affect judging for the main awards.
Competition guidelines, registration forms and colouring sheets can be downloaded from the Consumer Council’s website. Completed entries and application forms can be submitted to the council’s office on Avenida de Horta e Costa until May 8.
