KUCHING: The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) logo design contest is receiving good response from Sarawakians, with at least 100 entries having been received so far.
This contest, which is open only to Sarawakians, is organised in conjunction with the official launch of GPS set for July 22 this year.
Sarawakians are called to contribute their ideas of peace and solidarity through the GPS logo, which should represent Sarawak.
Organised by the GPS taskforce, the contest aims to engage Sarawakians to come up with a logo that could best represent the colours and uniqueness of Sarawak.
All Sarawakians have up to July 10 to submit their entries to the organiser. The GPS taskforce has earlier stated its expectation that the logo should contain the colours of Sarawak flag to reflect the identity of Sarawak.
The contest is an opportunity for Sarawakians to bring out the best of their imaginative skills to produce a logo that can impress the panel of judges and be rewarded with attractive cash prizes.
Considering that GPS marks a new beginning for the four component parties of former Barisan Nasional (BN) Sarawak, entries are also expected to depict a fresh start. The winner of the GPS logo design contest will walk away with cash prize of RM10,000, while second place and third place contestants will receive RM5,000 and RM3,000, respectively. Five consolation cash prizes of RM1,000 are also up for grabs.
This contest is the second of its kind held by the government of Sarawak after it did one for the launch of Development Bank of Sarawak (DBoS).
GPS is set to comprise Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and Progressive Democratic Party (PDP).
Its formation was announced by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg, who is also PBB president, after chairing a meeting with leaders of the four political parties on June 12.
The organiser is expected to unveil the new logo on July 12.
Soft copies of the entries can be delivered to [email protected], while the hard copies can be hand-delivered to GPS Taskforce at address Lot 401, Jalan Bako Petra Jaya, PO Box 1053, 93050, Kuching, Sarawak. All soft copies must be in JPEG format and attached to any ‘RAW’ or ‘Working’ file.
