Last day to name panda cubs

Today is the last day for Macau residents to nominate names for the two panda cubs born in June. The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) has encouraged the public to seize this final chance to name the duo with “meaningful and creative” Chinese names.  Participants must provide a brief paragraph of 150 words or less explaining the reason for the selection of their nominated name. Entries are limited to one per person. Final results will be co-selected by the IACM and the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. They will choose four winners and offer prizes to another 200 participants. Currently, IACM has received more than 2,300 filled applications with names suggested by the public.
