The Finding Jordan Picasso annual art contest
by Jordan Oral Care Malaysia has ended on a high, with thirty talented children
from all over Malaysia winning attractive prizes worth RM 30,000.
The two
categories included Category A of children between the ages of six and nine,
and Category B of children between the ages of ten and twelve.
Sandee Chai, Regional Marketing Manager for
Jordan Asia Pacific said, “The Finding Jordan Picasso contest has been running
for three years in row. With this year’s theme being ‘My Favourite Food,’ we
endeavour to remind children to brush their teeth thirty minutes after each
meal.”
In order to participate in the contest,
children between the ages of six to twelve were tasked to create art pieces
depicting their favourite meals using non-digital mediums, with some going as
creative as using recycled materials to build a delicious looking art piece.
Sandee said, “A part of Jordan’s philosophy is sustainable living as we are 100
per cent Eco at Heart. Using recycled materials in the children’s art pieces
definitely deserves a thumbs up from us!”
Deputy Head of Mission at the Royal Norwegian
Embassy, Erlend Sannes Hadland, who was also present at the event said, “Encouraging and nurturing creativity is important in a
child’s development. Art is a form of self-expression, and a form of
communication.”
He continued, “I am happy that Jordan has been encouraging
creativity in children through their Finding Jordan Picasso contest. This
year’s food-related theme which comes with a reminder to brush your teeth
thirty minutes after a meal further enforces Jordan’s commitment to both dental
hygiene and fostering the love of art in children.”
8-year old Ivy Sam
was happy to have won the Grand Prize in Category A. Her mother, Win Chong
said, “My children have joined in many competitions and this is the first time
any one of them have won. We, as a family, as truly excited and very happy for
Ivy. In fact, all my children are even more excited to join in more
competitions now and I will always provide them with my support.” Ivy’s art
piece was a bowl of spaghetti.
12-year old Chong
Poh Yi, the grand prize winner in Category B said, “I am very happy and excited
for my prizes and this gives me encouragement to join in more competitions!”
Her art piece was a sushi set.
The day did not
only put smiles on the faces of the winners of the Finding Jordan Picasso
contest, but also on the faces of 15 underprivileged children from Pusat
Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Taman Megah.
Jordan Oral Care Malaysia had
treated the children to a healthy and hearty meal, on top of teaching them
about the importance of oral hygiene and distributing a full set of oral care
items to each child during the event.
