2012 PBBY-Alcala Prize





Please know that the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY) already opened the 2012 PBBY-Alcala Prize that runs from January 1 to February 24 in celebration of the National Children’s Book.

The contest will be a fun experience for unpublished and yet to be published writers who will showcase their most creative children's stories.
Let the children in you come out and take home P25,000.00, a gold medal and an opportunity to be published.

Entries for this contest must be based on “Anong Gupit Natin Ngayon?”, the 2012 PBBY-Salanga Prize-winning story by Russell Molina. You may ask a copy of it from the PBBY Secretariat or you may upload the PDF version here. :)

Here are the mechanics for the contest:
1) All entries must be original unpublished illustrations that have not won in any previous contest.
2) All entries must consist of three (3) illustrations that are of the same size and medium.
3) A contestant may send in more than one (1) entry.
4) Each entry must be signed by a pen name only, preferably on a small piece of paper pasted on the back of each artwork. Entries with a signature or any identifying marks are automatically disqualified.
