To participate, you need to register before or by the deadline on May 15, 2024, at exactly 4:00 in the afternoon, on this link: https://bit.ly/KiteFlyingRegistrationForm.
Only the first 100 residents of Taguig who register can participate in the competition, with only one kite allowed per participant.
Once the form is complete, send it via email along with the necessary attachments, including a photocopy of a valid ID with a Taguig address and a picture of the kite to be entered at: [email protected].
All kites must be homemade or handcrafted and may be up to six feet at most.
All kites must be flown at a height not exceeding 500 feet.
If the weather turns bad and it's not possible to fly the kites on the day of the competition, the kites will be judged even if they cannot be flown.
If a kite happens to break during the competition, the kite owner will be allowed to fix it. Assistance from family or friends is allowed for launching and repairing the kite, but the kite must be flown by the one who made it.
Participants must also follow the correct time to fly their kites. They are not allowed to randomly bring down their kites without instruction from the organizers.
Here are the criteria for judging the competing kites in the competition:
1. Design - 30%
2. Visual Impact - 40%
3. Flight - 30%
