A difficult time for mascot design judges
JUDGES for the state government’s Competency, Accounta-bility and Transparency (CAT) mascot design competition are having a hard time selecting a winner from the 234 entries submitted.
State Housing, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai said most of the participants were students from all over the country, and the youngest was 14 years old.
“Such overwhelming response show that the younger generation recognise our (state government) efforts in making CAT governance a way of life.”
He told a press conference on Saturday that the winning design would associate the state government with dynamism, competency, creativity, integrity and social harmony.
“The state will consider making the winning design the official state mascot. As we have a lot of designs to evaluate, we hope to announce the winning design within a month.
“The judges are art and design experts Leong Hoy Yoke, Haryany Mohamad, Thanneermalai Muniandy, Felix Chua and Julina Ismail,” he said.
There are four prizes: three special prizes and one top prize. Each special prize winner will receive an award of RM1,000 while the top prize winner will receive RM3,000.

老虎 獅子 貓頭鷹也來了•檳福貓設計賽變動物園
2009-10-12 00:00
（檳城訊）“福貓設計比賽”變成動物園，參賽者充分發揮天馬行空的豐富想像空間，在接獲的234份作品當中，也不乏有奇珍異獸，如老虎、獅子及貓頭鷹。
檳州城鄉規劃、房屋及藝術委員會主席黃漢偉行政議員指出，2009年檳州福貓設計比賽共接獲234份來自全國各地的作品，即日起由5名專業評審做出評估，並將會在一個月內舉行頒獎儀式。
他說，這次比賽的主題雖然是“福貓”，但只要是“貓科類”的作品，如老虎、獅子等也被大會接受，但是否可以獲獎，則交由評審滿足決定。
貓科類作品也接受
他說，是項比賽獲得年輕一代的響應，最年輕的參賽者只有14歲，最年長是40歲，最多的參賽者來自檳城，其次是雪蘭莪。這也顯示了年輕一代認同州政府打造一個能幹、公信及透明（CAT）的良好施政，同時也要融同入企業運作及普通市民的生活文化。
“在這項福貓設計比賽當中，年輕一代通過他們的作品表達了他們對檳州政府期望，希望領袖們能維護公共體系中的廉正、政治倫理及道德價值觀。”
“我們要讓年輕人相信未來一片光明，充滿平等機會、公平競爭的平台及社會公義。每個馬來西亞人都有權利在我們所熱愛的國家，享受民主、公正、法治、廉潔、人類尊嚴及自由及政治平等。”(TTK)
作品須能反映三民使命
黃漢偉說，脫穎而出的福貓作品必須能夠反映檳州的活力、能力、廉正及社會和諧，展現州政府立志實踐“三民”的使命：啟迪民智、賦權予民、富國強民。
“我們的評審團包括5名在檳州藝術設計領域皆有卓越成就的人士，他們是：梁海煜、哈雅妮、旦雅文萊、蔡繼隆及朱麗娜，他們將推薦優秀的作品給檳州政府。”
他指出，州政府將頒發4份獎項（3份特別獎及1份首獎）給得獎人士。每名特別獎得主可獲得1000令吉獎金。首獎得主的作品將被州政府選為檳州福貓，並可獲得3000令吉的獎金。”
針對優勝作品是否成為檳城的新標志，這則有待州政府的考慮。(TTK)
