The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) is set to launch a public collection of 3D video mapping works in Macau to celebrate the double anniversary of the 25th anniversary of the Macau handover and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China during the “Light Up Macao 2024.”
According to MGTO the aim is to incorporate local public artistic creations into the event to promote the development of local “tourism + cultural and creative industries.”
The proposal collection starts ends Aug. 30.
The “Light Up Macao 2024” will take place from December 2024 to February 2025 and will feature 3D video mapping shows, light installations and interactive displays in different areas of Macau.
The double anniversary will also be the main theme for this proposal collection, although works may also include the Historic Centre of Macau, the Creative City of Gastronomy, the East Asia Cultural City, festivals and events and Macau’s tourism mascot “Mak Mak.”
A jury of professionals from the arts and tourism fields will be invited to select the five best works from all the proposals received, which will be displayed on the MGTO website and earn MOP10,000 each.
Visitors and residents will be able to view the works without time or space restrictions.
From among the five selected works, the jury will choose the best three, which will be displayed at this year’s “Light Up Macao” on the façade of Cozinha Pinocchio in Taipa and earn a prize of MOP250,000 each.
Interested parties can register and submit entries on the MGTO’s website (https://www.dst.gov.mo/).
