Mar 17, 2023

SANDAKAN: Russel Richard Sebastian’s logo has been chosen for the Second Sandakan Diocesan Youth Festival or TBK2 (Temasya Belia Keuskupan 2), to be held from August 28 to September 1.

In conjunction with TBK2, a logo drawing competition, coinciding with the theme, Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could to a town in the hill country of Judah (Luke 1:39) was organised by the TBK2 Multimedia and Publicity Team (MPT).

Some of the criteria in selecting the winning entry was the depiction of the theme, uniqueness, using not more than three colours and text in the Bahasa Malaysia language.
The winning entry is the official logo for the TBK2. The competition, which ran from Feb 20 to 26, was open to Catholic youth throughout the Diocese of Sandakan. It aimed at inspiring the youth in heralding the upcoming festival.

The competition received several entries and a few were shortlisted and sent to the Main Organising Team (MOT) for further selection.

Russel, from Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Beluran, was notified by MPT’s Roland Matthew of the winning logo before it was announced on the official social media webpage of the Sandakan DYA, on Feb 28. MPT created a short video clip highlighting the winning entry and describing the illustration of the logo and colours used.

The MOT and MPT wish to express their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the contestants of the TBK2 Logo Creation Competition for their support and enthusiasm in submitting their works. May the spirit of the youths be elevated and strengthened.

The youth are called to ‘hasten’ and participate in the biggest celebration of the Diocese of Sandakan and to feel the love of Jesus. As Pope Francis exclaimed for the 37th World Youth Day, Aug 15, 2022, Now is the time to rise! Let us arise and hurry! Like Mary, let us carry Jesus in our hearts and bring Him to be preached to everyone we meet.
