According to a statement released yesterday by MGS organizer, the Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association (MGEMA), “in keeping with its theme of innovation and interaction, the exhibition this year has organized a series of related events in the hope of infusing Macau’s entertainment industry with the creative and innovative ideas of the younger generation.”

The creativity and design competitions covered the areas of color schemes, seating design, slot machine design, slot machine background music composition, essays on responsible gaming (high school and university levels) and animation design.

Works submitted for the various competitions were carefully judged by professionals from the creative and innovative industries in an open and impartial nature based on standards including, but not limited to, the ideas presented and the creativity involved, the development of a central theme and its expression, the relevance, the skills applied and the resultant product.

All competitions except the color scheme, seating design, high-school-level essay and animation design were open to Macau citizens over the age of 21. Individual participants and collaborating groups of five or fewer were welcome.
