MUFY Sweeps Monash Arts Scholarship Contest Prizes

33 students from various colleges participated in the Monash Arts Scholarship Contest in September vying to win the 50% Arts scholarship and attractive cash prizes.. It was a fun-filled day with students competing  in three events - #pic&snap, Malaysian Film Pitch and Trivia Bowl, designed to test their abilities.

In the #pic&snap event, students had to  build an Instagram story of videos and images which are shot, edited and uploaded on their mobile phones. The students demonstrated a keen ability to think visually and create a montage from six different frames that detailed their Monash experience.

In the Malaysian Film Pitch event, creative abilities and understanding of popular film genres were put to the test as students were required to come up with a film pitch. Ideas and performances acted out by the students included Malaysian horror, romance comedy and sci-fi.

The final event was a broad-ranging trivia quiz, aptly titled Trivia Bowl. Questions included topics covered in the Bachelor of Arts’ majors and minors, falling under categories such as Global Studies, Communications, Writing, Psychology, Gender Studies, Screen Studies and Journalism.

Students from MUFY emerged as champions and swept all prizes. Congratulations to Fung Su En, Chen Kai Yuan, and Nicole Chek Shao Min who placed first, second, and third. Each won a 50% scholarship and RM3,000, RM2,000 and RM1,000 cash respectively.
