July 21-24 at Cotai Expo


(Macao, June 9, 2022) – The popular ICBC ePay Presents: Karaoke King Singing Competition is back for the 2022 Sands Shopping Carnival, and is being joined by the new BNU Presents: Street Dance Competition, giving the public another chance to show off their talents and win valuable prizes.


Organised by Sands China, the competitions are free for both contestants and audience members as part of the upcoming four-day carnival at The Venetian® Macao's Cotai Expo July 21-24, which is also free-admission.


Applications for both competitions are now open, and are being accepted until 6 p.m. June 30.


ICBC ePay Presents: Karaoke King Singing Competition 2022
Permanent and non-permanent Macao SAR identity card holders can compete as individuals or teams in one of two categories: teenage for ages 12-18 and adult for ages 19 and above. Prizes will be awarded for the champion, first-runner-up, and second-runner-up.


The contest is co-organised by the Macau Artistes Association, whose representatives are serving as judges for the preliminary and final rounds. Preliminary rounds for the teenage and adult categories take place July 22 and 23, respectively, and the final rounds for both categories are on July 24, concluding with a prize presentation ceremony.


BNU Presents: Street Dance Competition 2022
A new activity for this year's carnival, the contest aims to promote the uplifting culture of street dancing and provide young enthusiasts with a platform to showcase their talent. Open to children aged 7 to 12, teams of 3-8 participants compete in a preliminary round July 21, with the final round on July 24. The judging panel includes representatives from corporations and six mainstream local dance studios, and winners will be awarded with prizes for the top three spots.


Participants of both contests need to either present proof of a two-dose vaccination or a valid negative nucleic acid test taken within the previous 48 hours.


The ICBC ePay Presents: Karaoke King Singing Competition 2022 and BNU Presents: Street Dance Competition 2022 are two of the many diverse activities and attractions of the 2022 Sands Shopping Carnival, which include the BOC Smart Kids Presents: Little Master Chef Workshop; a "Play and Fun" Kids Area and a mega food court presented by Bank of Communications; and daily lucky draws.


Featuring more than 580 booths, the carnival is the largest shopping event of its kind in Macao. It provides a free business platform for local SMEs and Sands retailers amid the pandemic period, while offering a fun weekend destination and summer hotspot for local residents and tourists. Providing an ideal shopping and leisure destination for families, the carnival aims to give back to the community by offering the best deals to Macao residents and tourists in order to stimulate domestic consumption and help boost the economy – in support of the Macao SAR government's Consume for the Economy initiative and the e-consumption voucher scheme.


And carnival-goers can rest assured that Sands China is again implementing a series of strict sanitisation and safety measures to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and safeguard public health.
