In order to review the development over the past three decades, look ahead to new opportunities in the future, and consolidate UM members’ sense of belonging to the university, the University of Macau (UM) is organizing an anthem lyrics material contest, “Our University Anthem”, on the occasion of its 30 th Anniversary. The first prize winners for each group will receive a cash prize of MOP 5,000 and the winning entries will serve as the material for the university anthem.

The theme of the university anthem lyrics should reflect the unique history and character of the university and the down-to-earth spirit of UM members, and should covey UM members’ confidence in a more beautiful future of the university. Entries can be in Chinese, English or Portuguese. Participants can submit as many entries as they like, and the provided entries should be the original works that are not previously published in any form. In terms of the panel of judges for the contest, UM has invited several professionals to be on board to review each entry. The selected entries will serve as the material for the university anthem.

Those who are interested to participate in the contest can choose either of the following categories: UM Student Group, UM Staff Group, UM Alumni Group, Open Group. Each group will yield one first prize, three second prizes and five third prizes. The first prize winner of each group will receive a cash prize of MOP 5,000, the second prize is MOP 3,000 and the third prize MOP 1,000.

Entries may be submitted by email umsong@um.edu.mo or mail to Information and Public Relations Office, University of Macau, Av. Padre Tomás Pereira, Taipa, Macau, China by 30 September, 2011.
