There will be two categories to this contest with five sets of prizes to be won in each category.

Thru’ the eyes of a child
Opened to children age 5 to 12, you’re encouraged to present anything Peranakan in the form of a painting, sculpture or a drawing! You may scan or photograph your submission – do ensure the images are of high-resolution. There is no restriction on the medium.
