‘Viva’ Mascot Creative Campaign

The Cultural Affairs Bureau will distribute paper models of the mascot VIVA to stores along the parade route, inviting business owners to assemble the paper model into a unique display for their shop windows, thereby stimulating creativity and encouraging participation within the entire city. This activity will also provide greater exposure for the mascot throughout the community and in the lives of residents. The Bureau also welcomes participation from additional stores not on the parade route, located in other parts of Macao. Interested shop owners may contact the Cultural Affairs Bureau to receive a paper model of VIVA. All businesses displaying the decorated mascot will receive a certificate of participation.

For enquiries, please call: Ms. Lam (8399 6636)

 

‘Viva’ Mascot Charity Sale

The Cultural Affairs Bureau is joining hands once again with the international non-profit organisation ORBIS, after their successful co-operation during last year’s Macao International Music Festival. This time, all proceeds from the sale of VIVA Mascot souvenirs will go towards ORBIS’s efforts in the prevention and treatment of blindness worldwide.

From today until December 26th, the public may purchase, for MOP 20, a paper model of the VIVA Mascot, which can be assembled, decorated and creatively transformed into a unique piece. With the Christmas season fast approaching, the model makes a great gift for the little ones, spreading the joy of charity while contributing to the festivities’ cheerful atmosphere. All proceeds from the sale go to support the efforts of ORBIS in the prevention and treatment of blindness in children of developing countries.
