KOTA KINABALU: Setiakawan Sabah Assocation and Sabah Youth Council are working together with Persatuan Rumpun Bajau Sama Sabah to organize a TikTok contest on the culture of the Sabah Bajau Sama.

Programme director Azrul Ibrahim said that the contest to be held in conjunction with the launching of the Sabah Bajau Sama Culture Centre is organized for the first time to protect and uphold the heritage of the Sabah Bajau Sama.

“The effort will also give the opportunity to the people of Sabah to show their talent in producing short videos on the heritage of the Sabah Bajau Sama,” he said in a statement on Friday.

Prizes awaiting winners are RM1,000 for the champion, RM700 for the second prize winner and RM500 for the third place winner.

Consolation prizes of RM200 each will also be given.

He explained that the videos produced must showcase the culture of the Sabah Bajau Sama people such as their attire, dance, songs, food and history and so on.

“The work must be original and not plagiarized and the duration of the video is one minute. It is open to all Sabahans,” he said.

The video is to be shared on each participant’s TikTok account and is tagged #RumpunBajauSama.

Participants are to fill up the participation Google form, enclose their video in the Google drive folder and share the Google drive link in the participation form prepared for the assessment of jury members before or on February 20, he said.
