How to participate
Young people below the age of 21 are tasked to draw or paint a cultural activity, or object through which one can make money. They are also required to explain the processes involved in using the activity or object to make money in their communities. The competition is open to young people in and out of school.

About the competition
For the past 11 years, CCFU organises a competition to boost their participation and contribution to cultural heritage preservation and safeguarding.
Young people are presented with a theme and are tasked to draw or paint a picture of an object or instrument in relation to the theme.
A team of cultural experts then select the best 13 entries which are used to produce the CCFU National Cultural Heritage Calendar. Winners are awarded cash and other prizes in a grand ceremony.
