A total of 40 prizes were awarded to winners, with students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Besi topping both categories.

The colouring contest judging panel was led by YBhg To’ Puan Anizal binti Yusoff and included representatives from PUSPANITA KETENGAH Branch, Kolej KETENGAH Sdn. Bhd., and the KETENGAH Family Club.
