This quarantine period, CCEF is launching its awareness raising campaign: “MPAs sa Mata sa mga Bata”. This campaign aims to create positive change among local communities through art and raises the profile of drawing local marine ecosystems as a tool for thought, creativity, social and cultural engagement. The Campaign’s purpose is to create a new regard for the power of drawing to help people see, think, raise awareness, and take action in their own local MPAs.
Campaign mechanics:
The drawing campaign
will be separated in two age groups having two different themes: What’s in your
MPA? (Ages 8-12 years old) and What makes your MPA special? (Ages 13-18 years
old). Submissions to the CCEF drawing campaign must be in A4 size, with a short
essay (maximum 200 words) and a photo of the participant with their drawing. The
participant is free to use any illustration materials for their drawing. Each
participant can only submit one drawing for the campaign.
Submissions for the drawing campaign must be submitted via email to info@coast.ph before July 31, 2020.
