Art contest for students on ‘Malaysian heritage’ theme

Tan says preserving Malaysia’s intangible heritage is as crucial as safeguarding physical heritage.

THE Usaha Tegas Heritage Art Competition is back for its 23rd edition, inviting young Malaysian artists to honour the nation’s rich cultural history with their creativity.

This year’s theme, “Malaysian Heritage,” focuses on Malaysia’s intangible cultural treasures, echoing its recent inclusion in Unesco’s Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (IGCICH) for 2022-2026.
