PODD turns 2
So this is the post I was referring in my earlier post (aha!).
We marked our 2nd anniversary with a digital art contest aimed at inspiring college students and developing their creative interests, particularly in digital art. Theme was Pigs on Parade, a timely theme for the Chinese New Year celebration.
Registration started in January 8 and ended January 24. We had a total of 72 entries, most of which were from USC, UP, CIT. All three schools offer Fine Arts as 4-year diploma course. Raki blogged about the three judges, housemate Budoy, (of Big Brother fame though only a few people know that he is an outstanding painter himself), Palmy Tudtud from National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and Janette Toral, author, top blogger and IT guru.
Here are photos from the awarding ceremony.
With me (in the middle :)) are architect and interior designer Nelson Abrigos (leftmost), Creative Services Director Andreas Montano (2nd from left), the finalists, Budoy (in headress), Janette Toral (rightmost)
Famous artist, poet and songwriter Isagani Ibarra
Andreas, the winners, me.
To guests, judges, members of the sun shiny Sunshine Team, and the entire PODD family, thank you very much.
:: Two weeks ago while the submission was ongoing, we had several emails from people outside Cebu inquiring about the contest and why only Cebu students were allowed to join. I said because we wanted maintain our focus. I know there'll be other opportunities for them in some other organized contests, though am happy for their interest in joining ours. Maybe next year, let's see. On another note, I spoke to Palmy Tudtud of NCCA and she mentioned that they're organizing websining, also a digital art contest but on a national level. Please check link if you're interested.
