We are pleased to announce our third Online Art Contest for the month of August. The theme for this month’s art contest is URBAN WILDLIFE OF MALAYSIA!
The theme was chosen to encourage families and kids living in urban areas to explore their natural
surroundings and be inspired by the wildlife that resides in it. So, we encourage you to visit a local
nature park or have a walk around your neighborhood to spot any wildlife for your art ideas.
Additionally, you could check out our YouTube video on Urban Wildlife for further inspiration, at
