The Minister for Justice and Local Government, Dr. Austin Gatt today announced the beginning of the second phase of the Sebbah Pajjizek competition. This second phase, which is open solely to Local Councils having a bay or a promenade within its confines, is divided into two categories namely the Best Overall Beach Tidiness and the Best Kept Promenade.

This was announced by the Hon. Austin Gatt during the presentation of the sponsorship to the Ministry by the main sponsors of the Sebbah Pajjizek campaign which include Maltapost p.l.c., Middle Sea Valletta, Bank of Valletta p.l.c., Malta Tourism Authority and Central Cigarettes Co Ltd.

The Best Overall Beach Tidiness and the Best Kept Promenade rewards Local Councils with the best overall tidiness of beaches and promenades. Points will be awarded for cleanliness of sandy beaches, rocky areas, parking areas, quays, platforms, stairways and walkways. The provision of adequate signage, toilets, seating facilities and litter bins will also be given importance. These two competitions will come to an end in September and the winners and runners-up in each category will be awarded a monetary prize of Lm400 and Lm200 respectively.

The Hon. Austin Gatt concluded his short speech by thanking the sponsors, which were all represented at the ceremony, for their continuous support to the Sebbah Pajjizek Campaign.
