Supercar and motorcycle show and photography and poster design competitions
In order to encourage wider participation on Macao’s motorsport carnival, the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee has organised a number of events and activities. On November 12 and 13 at Tap Seac Square, a promotional event will showcase the Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix, Macau GT Cup and Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix competition vehicles, as well as a number of classic motorcycles, enabling the public to get a close up look at the racing machinery free of charge. The event will also feature a Grand Prix exhibition and souvenir sales booths.
In addition, to encourage Macao residents to participate in the event in a variety of ways, deepen understanding of the competition, enhance residents' support of motorsport and create a harmonious atmosphere, a photographic competition with the theme of the “Suncity Group 63rd Macau Grand Prix”, and a creative / concept poster design contest with a “Macau Grand Prix” theme, have been launched for local photographers, artists and designers to showcase their talents.
The top three winners of the two competitions will be awarded MOP8,000, MOP5,000 and MOP3,000 cash prizes respectively in addition to trophies. Seven merit awards will also be chosen in each competition and the winners will each be presented with MOP1,000. The winning entry of the poster design competition has a chance to be the thematic design of the 2017 Macau Grand Prix.

Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, n.o 818, Macao) from October 17, 2016 to November 30.
