A literary writing competition open to young people of Filipino descent who are 16 to 18 yrs old.What better way to honour your parents and grandparents? Retell their stories so their memories live on.
Come and share the stories you heard from your nanang/tatang, kuya/ate, manong/manang, tiya/tiyo or lolo/lola from the Philippines. It can be a story about multo (ghosts) or simply the simple stories how their life was before in the Philippines.
Help us advance the Filipino culture in the literary world.
Top three winners will receive a cash award: First: $100 | Second: $75 | Third: $50. Two consolations prices ($25 each) will be given to selected works. More consolation prizes awarded if enough prizes are solicited.
Your work will be judged according to: title, theme, message, composition and presentation.
Selected works aside from the top three will potentially be published by PATAC with the other literary works collected from the previous literary contest.
