Bangkok Bank Executive Vice President Mr. Bordin Unakul says the competition is part of the bank’s commitment to support education and develop children’s skills in the area of technology.
“Bangkok Bank’s commitment to children’s education is the reason why we launched the Bualuang Kids Website, which teaches them about money and savings in a fun way. We believe that sound financial habits need to be developed early as they are the foundation for a bright and financially strong future,” he says.
Entries must be created using Adobe Flash or any other computer program suitable for creating material that can be posted on the internet. The games should be submitted on CD-ROM and posted to the Public Website Team, Product and Distribution Department (PDD) 20th Fl. Bangkok Bank PCL 333 Silom Rd., Bangrak, Bangkok 10500. Entries must include the entrant’s full name, educational facility, grade, home address and phone number.
A list of finalists will be posted on Bangkok Bank's Bualuang Kids website on April 2, 2007. The bank will then list the ten winners on the Bualuang Kids website on April 30, 2007.
The game design competition follows closely after the Bualuang Kids Painting Competition which was targeted at primary school students. Bangkok Bank’s Bualuang Kids website is currently the only bank website in Thailand devoted to children.
