INTRODUCTION
Since it was launched in 2003, the Piala Seri Endon has become an annual event that those in the batik, fashion, handicraft and soft furnishing industries look forward to with excitement and anticipation. A key component of the Malaysia Batik – Crafted For the World movement, which was the vision of the late Datin Paduka Seri Endon Mahmood, the Piala Seri Endon has grown from strength to strength.
In 2006, there were three competition categories. The Handicraft category, which was in its second year, had 34 entries. The Soft Furnishing category had 23 entries and the Fashion category, always the one obtaining the highest number of entries, had 102 entries.
The three different categories were introduced to encourage the application of batik to a variety of products.
In 2007, the Grand Final of the Piala Seri Endon will be held in conjunction with the Kuala Lumpur International Batik (KLIB) Convention & Exhibition 2007 which will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. There will be an international audience of batik and textile enthusiasts and industry players.
It is hoped that batik makers will take up the challenge of producing the best batik ever for this competition so that we may showcase Malaysian talent in its best light.
