Good opportunity for stay home kids to join this Poetry and Storytelling competition. Newman Drama collaborates with Royal Canin Malaysia to launch the TYCTTV: The Future Advocate Poetry & Storytelling Competition starting 19 October 2020. The competition that opens to all children between the ages of 4 and 12 is part of Royal Canin’s “Take Your Cat to the Vet” initiative that has been continuously organised annually since 2016.
Submission deadline is EXTENDED! NOTE: POST your entries by 12noon, 24/11 (Tuesday), late entries will not be considered.
And the "Likes & Shares" until 11:59pm, 25/11 will be accounted.
“Newman Drama wants to encourage young
children especially to build the confidence to face real-life scenarios such as
group interactions, oral communications, interpersonal skills and many more.
With the recent announcement of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO)
that limits our physical classes, this competition couldn’t have launched at a
better timing. We hope that children in Malaysia will take this opportunity to
present and recite poetry, and share their stories about their favourite topic
- their beloved cats!” said Siew Yong,
Founder and Director, Newman Drama. “While we offer physical classes in the
Klang Valley and Penang, now with the online competition, we can reach out to
more children across the nation”.
The collaboration was signed to encourage
more children to sharpen and showcase their talent in creative communications
and public speaking. “Other than providing this platform for our future
generation to express themselves and share their own insights, Royal Canin
hopes to educate them about the importance of veterinary care for cats. We know
that children love cats for the cute and playful nature, but we also need to
teach them the proper steps to caring for our furry little friends - the type
of food the cats need to maintain their overall health and shiny coat, the
regular check-ups, the grooming and other aspects of pet care. With the
collaboration with Newman Drama School, children can begin to cultivate the
values of animal welfare from a very young age,” said Dr. Melissa Phoon, Corporate Affairs Manager, Royal Canin Malaysia.
The online competition is divided into two
categories, poetry recital for children between the ages of 4 and 7 years old
and the storytelling for those between the ages of 8 and 12 years old.
Interested participants can send in a 3-minute video talking about taking their
cats to the vet to qualify for the competition after playing an educational web
game on cat care via link: www.animalhappiness.asia/mycat2vet
Once the video is ready for upload on the
Newman Drama’s Facebook Event Page, the participants must tag @royalcaninMY and include the hashtags:
#cat2vet, #tycttv #newmandrama for the
judges to review.
“Newman Drama and Royal Canin will contribute
up to 70% of the total evaluation, so the children are required to include
their stories or experience taking their cats to the vet for extra marks.
Meanwhile, likes and shares on Social Media platforms will contribute to the
remaining 30%,” Siew Yong added. “In conclusion, we’d like the children to
share their sweet memories with their cats, hoping that they will continue to
value their pets as part of their family members through this Social Media
competition”.
The competition will run until 18th
November 2020. Each child is entitled for one entry. Attractive cash prizes,
certificates and medals worth more than RM1,200 are up for grabs!
