The Minisgtry for Justice and Culture has said that following the publication of a call for proposals for the design and build of an artistic traditional Maltese crib (presepju) purposely manufactured for external display at St Peter's Square during the 2016 Christmas period, the work submitted by Gozitan Manwel Grech, has been chosen after a rigorous selection process.
The Culture Directorate within the Ministry for Justice, Culture and Local Government in collaboration with Heritage Malta, launched the call last year.
As specified in the call, the results were transmitted to the Holy See, that confirmed the choice made by the Evaluation Committee appointed by the Minister responsible for Culture.
The Ministry said that the local evaluation process was managed by the Government in collaboration with the Maltese Curia.
The chosen work will now go through the necessary reviews in order to establish time frames for the completion of the project and related technicalities.
A schedule of results, including ranked entries, may be consulted at the Culture Directorate, 'Chateau de la Ville', 21, Archbishop Street, Valletta and at the Heritage Malta Head Office, Marina Street, Kalkara.
