Entrants for the second review of IC’s 2016 Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making announced

Adjudicating panel reviews applications for the 2016 Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making.

The initial review of the 2016 Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making, organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym), has been completed. A total of 24 applications were received in this Programme, and the adjudicating panel selected 15 entrants for the second review. Each candidate eligible for the second review will be granted a subsidy up to a maximum amount of MOP160,000 to cover expenses of sample making and production of promotional materials. The IC has initiated the “Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making” since 2013, in order to promote the development of Macao’s fashion design industry. This year, a total of 24 applications were received, of which over 40% were from new applicants, and more than half have registered trademarks for their fashion brands. IC has organised a professional adjudicating panel to grade the entries based on the entries’ creativity and originality, market potential, quality, overall visual effects, feasibility and degree of perfection of the exhibition and business plan, as well as the rationale of budgeting. The adjudicating panel is comprised of Terry Sio Un I, Chairman of the Rainbow Group; Victoria Kuan Chi Ping, Senior Manager of the Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Centre; José Tang Kuan Meng, member of the Committee of Cultural Industries and Vice President of the Industrial Association of Macau; Walter Ma, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association and Raymond Au, consultant of the Macao Fashion Gallery. Entrants selected to the second review are (in arbitrary order): on an individual basis, Tam Chi Kit, Cheang Chi Tat, Wai Chin Seong, Peng Yun, Lao Ka Weng, Oliveira Nuno Maximiano Lopes De, Tam Fu Man, Chiang Sau Yee, Wong Man Chon, Lai Choi Fan and Leong Man Teng; on a team basis, Wong Ha and Cheong Kuan Peng, Lo Ka Heng and Choi Wai Leng, Liu Ching Nam and Wong Ka Wa, Dias Cardoso Ana Claudia and Dias Cardoso Nair Alexandra. IC will notify the entrants by telephone and email. The date and venue for the second review will be announced at a later stage. Entrants shall produce a sample based on the selected work for second interview in their application, and present it to the adjudicating panel during the second review on a model of their choice (make-up and hair design must be compatible with the overall modeling). Entrants shall also introduce their works and answer questions raised by the adjudicating panel in person. Following the second review, entrants may apply for a subsidy in the maximum amount of MOP11,000 to reimburse the expenses incurred on sample making and presentation. The adjudicating panel will select a maximum of eight individuals or teams as the beneficiaries of the programme. Each of them may receive a subsidy up to a maximum amount of MOP160,000 for sample production and promotional materials of selected entries. Details of the programme are available on Cultural Affairs Bureau website (www.icm.gov.mo/en/CCI-Subsidy) and the Macao Cultural and Creative Industries Website (www.macaucci.com).
