THEME: Greening Our Creativity @ 50 - On 23 January, 1995, the Federal Government declared that 14 September of every year should be observed as a National Day of Creativity. The declaration was in line with the signing of the Bern Convention for Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and was intended as a day "to further draw attention to the contribution of creativity to our national development effort". The observance of the day, therefore, was intended as an occasion for the nation to showcase its immense talents in the arts, sciences and technology.
