From the simple to the bizarre. The entries to the kite flying competition launched last Saturday at Paseo del Mar as part of the 2015 Summer Festival featured original creations that speak of Zamboangueno ingenuity and talent.
The variety of entries submitted for the figure and flat categories came in different shapes, color and sizes and were adjudged for their functionality as well as creativity. The flat kites were 2D or two-faced kites while the figure kites were those built as 3D figures with realistic shapes.
After the 3-hour competition, Rebner Bello who submitted a kite with the UN flags design topped the figure category and went home with P5,000 cash prize with a plaque. Second place with P3,000 cash prize was Glen Saavedra, whose entry was designed like an owl while Ronald Quibilan garnered the third prize of P2,000 with his butterfly-design kite. All winners got a plaque.

In the flat category, the kite with the big butterfly design submitted by Jason Geroy was adjudged as the top winner with P3,000 cash prize.
