Corporate bits | Sands China announces arts competition winners

Sands China announced the winners of its creative arts competition with an awards presentation and the opening of an exhibition displaying the works at The Venetian Macao.

Launched in August, “Sands China Presents: Macao’s Past & Present Creative Arts Competition” was created in support of the region’s art and cultural industries.

The competition invited members of the public to create pieces of art demonstrating the unique local charm of Macau’s past and present. Entries could be submitted in artistic and creative forms such as painting, photography and sculpture.

Winners were chosen from each category, including a special award in each category for entries themed on The Parisian Macao, Sands China’s newest integrated resort.

Winners received valuable prizes from a total prize pool of over MOP150,000, with their winning pieces now displayed at the exhibition.

The awarded works can be viewed at the exhibition at The Venetian Macao until December 29.
