The annual competition, which is now on its 8th year, is sponsored by Councilor Ma. Belen Sunga-Acosta, chair of the committee on education.
The contest is aimed at discovering young talents in the field of campus journalism and encouraging young writers to become frontrunners and catalysts of social change through responsible campus journalism.
The search was open to third and fourth year students enrolled in any public secondary school in Davao City, which has a school publication.
The competition was divided into two parts: the on-the-spot editorial writing and panel interview.
This year's panel of judges was composed of Antonio M. Ajero, editor in chief of Edge Davao; Ethel Cantor-Constantino, NBN Mindanao reporter; and Bernard Julian A. Patino, instructor at the University of the Philippines in Mindanao and also a freelance photojournalist of Mindanews.
The winners will also be featured at Mabel At Your Service radio program of Councilor Acosta over dxAB, ABS-CBN Davao on March 22, 2009. (GLP)
