THE CIVIL Service Commission (CSC) on Tuesday launched a photography contest, which seeks to use positive imagery in coping with the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.
In a media release, CSC said the project themed “Journey to the New Normal” must communicate the various new norms or behavior which may effectively inspire others on how to deal with the impact of the Covid-19 situation.
The images, the CSC said, must convey “the beauty and importance of living despite the uncertainty and discomfort brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic” and “must strongly attract the imagination of the viewer to ensure positive outlook in their hearts and minds”.
It is open to all Filipino public servants, except employees of the CSC including their relatives up to the second degree of affinity or consanguinity.
The contest is ongoing, and submission of entries is until July 31, 2020 at 5 p.m.
