The Name the Zero Harm Mascots Contest is now open!
Contest Rules and Regulations:
1. The contest is open to children, siblings, nieces, nephews and grandchildren of Magsaysay employees and crew members who are below 15 years old.
2. The contest is open from April 21 to May 19, 2015.
3. The contest is divided into three categories – Bee, Beaver and Firefly. Each category represents one Zero Harm mascot.
BEE CATEGORY:
Submitted names for this category are for Bee, the Health mascot. Bees produce honey, which is known for its many health benefits to humans. Honey can help prevent cancer and heart disease, reduce cough and throat irritation, reduce ulcers and gastrointestinal disorders and is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, among many other great things.
FIREFLY CATEGORY:
Submitted names for this category are for Firefly, the Environment mascot. Fireflies are reliable signs of a strong and stable environment because they can only survive and thrive in habitats that are clean and healthy. Pesticides, waste and other pollutants can quickly destroy their homes, which is why fireflies are now one of the endangered species in the world.
BEAVER CATEGORY:
Submitted names for this category are for Beaver, the Safety and Security mascot. Beavers build dams in rivers in order to create structurally sound homes to keep themselves safe. They are also known for the alarm signal that they use to warn others when danger is near: when startled or frightened, a beaver dives while slapping the water with its broad tail, a sound which can be heard even from far away.
4. A winning entry will be chosen for each category by the judges. Contest entrants can choose to submit an entry for any one (1) or all of the three (3) categories, however, entrants must submit a separate entry for each category they choose to participate in. Contest entrants are only allowed to submit one entry per category. Group submission is not allowed.
5. Submitted names must not have been previously published or have won previous awards, and must not infringe upon any existing trademarks or other intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity.
