Barbadian children have an opportunity to use their creative talents in a digital competition, an initiative of the National Cultural Foundation (NCF), which allows children aged six to 17 to create posters, films, short stories and spoken word videos.
Submissions should be done under the theme COVID-19 Prevent The Spread, according to a media release on May 13.
Chief executive officer at the NCF, Carol Roberts-Reifer explained: “This pandemic (COVID-19) has interrupted our normal weekday routines and many children will find it hard to cope, and creativity can be a powerful antidote.
“Children will have the opportunity to promote positive messages and educate their like-minded peers, along with the general public, while trying to find some normalcy in their lives, and keep their minds occupied while at home.”
Prizes range from $500 to $1 000, and entries will be shared and promoted via NCF’s online platforms. Rules and registration forms may be found on the NCF’s website. (BGIS)
