Calling all blogging enthusiasts and heritage buffs between 7 and 18 years old! Blog and win attractive prizes with the National Heritage Board’s (NHB) first national blogging competition – New Kids On The Blog.

To engage the web-savvy young in Singapore’s invaluable heritage, NHB has recently launched SGCOOL (www.sgcool.sg) or Singapore COllections OnLine.

This online repository of artefacts and artworks allows visitors to enjoy Singapore’s cultural treasures in the comfort of their homes. They include iconic pieces like leading artist Tan Swie Hian’s Humming Birds Racing; a century-old portrait of Sir Frank A. Swettenham by celebrated artist John Singer Sargent (one of Singapore’s national treasures), as well as the Kushana Buddha, one of only six such sculptures in the world.

The winner takes home a Nintendo Wii!

Happening between 20 July and 20 August 2007, New Kids On The Blog invites students aged 7 to 18 to share their thoughts about their favourite artefact or artwork. Participation is easy – simply visit www.sgcool.sg, choose your favourite artwork or artefact, blog about them on www.yesterday.sg through its sign-up page and you could stand to win a Nintendo Wii, Panasonic Lumix camera or DS Lite!

With New Kids On The Blog, young Singaporeans will learn and appreciate heritage, art and culture more deeply.

So, hesitate no longer. Tell your friends and family and start blogging today!
