Call for Applications: The 2nd Elizaldo Navarro Workshop in Criticism on the Arts and Humanities
THE UNIVERSITY OF SANTO Tomas (UST) is now accepting applications to the second J. Elizalde Navarro Workshop in Criticism on the Arts and Humanities to be held next month in Baguio City.

JEN is endowed and organized by the Varsitarian, the 82-year-old official student organ of UST. It is held in honor of the late National Artist for the Visual Arts and art critic J. Elizalde Navarro, who was art editor and poet-critic of the Varsitarian during his student days. JEN is also part of the academic celebrations leading to the 400th anniversary of UST in 2011.

Fellowships will be given to 10 promising young critics who would like to enhance their analytical, research and writing skills.

To be considered for the fellowship, applicants should submit a scholarly, properly documented critical essay (7-12 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font) on any of the art forms (literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, dance, drama, music, etc.) on or before March 22.

Manuscripts should be submitted in hard copy and on CD, preferably in MS Word, together with a resume, a recommendation letter from an academic mentor or a literary/art critic, a certification that the works are original, and two 2x2 ID pictures.

Address all applications to the conference conveners: Assoc. Prof. Ferdinand M. Lopez and/or Asst. Prof. Ralph Semino Galan, Faculty of Arts and Letters, University of Santo Tomas, Espana Street, Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines. E-mail ralphseminogalan@gmail.com for further inquiries.
