The Piala Seri Endon was conceived to discover and to provide a platform for support, recognition and encouragement of Malaysia’s batik-making talent. It is an annual event that is open only to Malaysians over 18 years of age, and is part of the Malaysia Batik - Crafted for the World movement.
The Piala Seri Endon batik design competition, named after the late wife of Malaysia’s Prime Minister, is now in its fourth year. Launched in 2003, the Piala had just one category, that is Fashion.
