The "GenS: Generation Sustainable" theme encapsulates the essence of the contest, inviting young artists to use their talents as a vehicle to advocate a more sustainable future.

The contest is open to all college students by encouraging participants to harness their artistic energy to create a captivating digital poster. With the flexibility of using any software, students have the opportunity and freedom to express their unique perspectives on sustainability.

 

Each participant is limited to a single entry, challenging them to unleash their best work. The aspect ratio requirement of 18 x 24 inches ensures a visually cohesive presentation, creating a level playing field for all submissions. 

 

Entries should not only adhere to the theme but also prioritize originality, encouraging participants to think outside the box as they strive to convey a powerful message.

 

Output must be submitted by October 13, 2023, to r10.bukidnon@dti.gov.ph email address.

 

DTI will feature the selected entries on its diverse information-sharing platforms, including social media, for widespread recognition. 

 

Judges will evaluate entries based on three criteria: Originality-30%; Relevance to the theme-40%; and Aesthetic appeal-30%. 

 

The top three winners will receive cash prizes and plaques, with the 1st prize receiving P3,000, the 2nd prize P2,000, and the 3rd prize P1,000.
