“The formal registration of the participants will also take place on Dec. 3 after the orientation,” Reyes said.
The contest will be open to all filmmakers, videographers, students, or anyone interested in video production, either in a group of five or an individual.
The DSWD-Caraga, in a statement on Friday, said two DSWD employees will be allowed to join any team of contestants but their participation will be limited to pre-production and post-production.
No registration fee will be asked from the contestants.
Reyes said submission of entries will be on Dec. 20 after which the announcement of winners will follow.
A cash prize of PHP45,000 will be awarded to the top winner, PHP35,000 as the second prize, and PHP20,000 for the third placer. (PNA)
