National Heritage Board “Magical Museums”

Animation Contest

Show us the magical side of museums!

Museums cover a wide range of themes - from art, culture, history to fashion and
hobbies. It is like embarking on a magical journey, which opens your eyes to a
whole new world and allows you to discover and experience museums like never
before!
We want you to show us the magical side of museums through a 30-60 sec
animation. Your ideas could be from your own experiences of visiting museums or
what museums mean to you.

The animation has to be fascinating, fun and exciting….and not forgetting it has to
be magical. It needs to inspire and make us all want to embark on this magical
journey to the museums with you.

You may use Singapore museums or museums in your own country as the
reference. 
However, please take note of these few important things:

1. Keep it generic

2. Do not show any museum’s exterior
, façade that is not in Singapore
3. Do not show any recognizable monument, statue, artifacts, etc. that is not
from Singapore

Prizes:

First Prize: $2,000 cash

First & Second Runner-ups: 1 x 16 GB iPad Wi-Fi each

Top 10 entries will get 3-Day Family Museum Passes in Singapore
