Bandilyo Abaknon Summer Essay Writing Contest
Attention Abaknon Writers:

Bandilyo Abaknon will be holding an Essay Writing contest open to all Abaknons of any age or profession. It may be written in English, Tagalog or Inabaknon.

The essays shall focus on anything Abaknon: the writer’s personal experiences in Capul or his being Abaknon, his/her impressions of its people, its customs and traditions and everything else of the same grain.

The essays must be original and must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, in print or in the net. It will be appreciated if pictures accompanying the entries will likewise be sent. All entries must contain the name, age and other personal/professional details of the writer.

Prizes will be given as follows:

1st place – Php 3,000.00
2nd place – Php 2,000.00
3rd place – Php 1,000.00

Tokens will be given to the non-winning entries. A person may submit more than one entry but only one – the highest placing entry, will be considered for the top three ranking.

The essays shall be sent via e-mail to the administrator, who shall be given authority to make minor editing of the manuscripts. All worthy entries will be posted at the Bandilyo Abaknon website and will be subjected to judging by both the readers and a select group of judges (more details on this later).

Entries may be submitted any time until May 31, 2010.
