Celebrating the Phan-tastic Colours of Culture – APU Phantasia Multicultural Night 2014

Thursday, 23rd Oct - Themed “Phantasia”, the APU Multicultural Night took place on the 18^th of October 2014 (Saturday) in Dewan Sri Putra, Bukit Jalil. With participation of more than 800 students and staff, the stadium was filled with joy, anticipation and excitement even before the event started.

Traditional and modern performances ranging from traditional dances to modern rock songs jamming fused together to create an awesome Multicultural Night of the year. The audience were excited and amused throughout the night as they were well-entertained by over 20 mesmerising performances from different countries and ethnic backgrounds. Many of the performances debuted that night, such as the Tae-robic performance by APU Taekwondo Club, ‘Soran Bushi’ performance by APU Japanese Club and more. On the other hand, the “Ms. Phantasia” session showcased the beauty of different cultures as performers took the catwalk runway with their stunning traditional outfits.

Apart from that, the results of the “Phanstagram Selfie Awards” – APU’s first ever Instagram photo competition - were also announced that night. The photo competition, organised by the APU Social Media Team, saw entries from APU’s local and international students and alumni. The “PhanstaGrammy Awards” were awarded to the best photos taken, “Walk The Talk” Award to the best caption, and “People’s Choice Award” was awarded to the photo that obtained the most ‘Likes’ on Instagram. The winners even took a ‘selfie’ on stage with our Vice President of Operations, Mr Gurpardeep Singh!

Winners of the “PhanstaGrammy Awards”, “Walk The Talk” Award and “People’s Choice Award” walked away with H&M Shopping Vouchers, Starbucks Gift Cards and iMAX Movie Tickets respectively.
