Newspaper Bag Design & Break Competition calling for participants

Newspaper Bag Design & Break Competition calling for participants

Members of the public and students of local schools are invited to participate in the competition and win cash prizes.

Miri – 13 August 2013 – Entries are open for the first-ever ‘Newspaper Bag Design & Break Competition’ being organised by the student-run Curtin Environmental Club (CEC) of Curtin University, Sarawak Malaysia (Curtin Sarawak) in conjunction with the university’s Curtin Sarawak Open Day 2013 on 14 September 2013.

The competition, which offers attractive cash prizes to the winners, requires participants to fabricate shopping bags out of used newspapers according to specific sizes, which will then be put through load tests to see which can withstand the greatest load. It is open to members of the public regardless of age, as well as students of local schools, and entry is free of charge.

The participants are encouraged to be as creative as possible in their designs, yet keep within the competition rules, which include using only newspapers and glue to fabricate the bags, and ensuring the length and height of their bags are between 20 cm and 30 cm and the width does not exceed 15 cm. The bags must also have at least one handle, which must not exceed 20 cm in height, and the maximum self-weight of the bags must not exceed 100 gm.

Participants can submit only one bag each in the competition and they are required to bring their bags for load tests and judging at the LTBS 1 Lecture Theatre in the university’s School of Business (Heron 2) building anytime between 10 am and 1 pm on 14 September 2013. The prize-giving will be at 3 pm.

According to Han Yi Chiew, president of the CEC, the competition supports Curtin Sarawak’s environmental sustainability programme and Miri’s goal of becoming a ‘green city’. It is being supported by the Miri City Council and corporate sponsors.

The first-prize winner stands to win RM300 cash, while the second and third-prize winners will receive RM200 and RM100 respectively.
