CDRC opens 2022 poster-making contest

The Citizens’ Disaster Response Center Foundation Inc. (CDRC) is inviting Filipino youth aged seven to 12 to submit entries to its 2022 annual poster-making contest.

Titled Apoy, Bagyo, Kalamidad: Dibuhong Pambata (#ABKD), this is CDRC’s 27th annual contest held to recognize children’s capacity and advocacy of disaster and risk management in households, schools, and communities.

ABKD is divided into two categories: Category A is open to children ages 7 to 9, where they are expected to express their ideas on disaster preparedness on any of the following subjects: typhoons or floods, volcanic eruption or lahar, earthquake, fire, landslide or trash slide, and damage to the environment brought about by large-scale mining, illegal logging and other controversial development projects.

Category B is open to children aged 10 to 12. Artworks under this category should focus on any of the following subjects: drought, red tide or fish kill, infestation, outbreak of diseases or epidemic, armed conflict, and climate change.

Participants should choose only ONE theme per artwork in their category. All artworks should be drawn on a ¼ illustration board, and must indicate category and disaster type. Participants should give their entries a title and a caption.

Entries should be submitted with the contestant’s name, age, address, telephone number, school’s name, grade level, and other important information.

Entries must be submitted to CDRC no later than September 30, 2022 (Friday). For other information, please check ABKD posters and flyers in schools and/or any of the DepEd Regional and Division offices, or call CDRC at (02) 8929-9820 / 22.
