As with previous years, the competition was held at the Marina Lake in Putrajaya, on 14-22 June, 2014. The competition received entries from 15 participants including other states.
The Penang Float emerged as the overall champion in this year's competiton. The colourfully lit float provides a visual representation of the state's most famous landmarks and icons. These include dragon boat, chingay, clan temples, street art, street food, the Penang Bridge and beaches, among others.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
