UP Oroquieta features advocacy thru art in AdLikha 2021

UP Oroquieta will host AdLikha 2021, an online zine competition that seeks to incorporate social advocacy in art-making. Participants may submit their entries until April 26, 2021. The organization will announce the winners in the virtual program proper of the event on May 1, 2021, via Zoom. 

The competition is now exclusive to all participants ages 15 to 24 years old from Region IV-A CALABARZON. Winners will get the chance to amplify their causes through zine, and earn as much as Php 8,000 cash prize. 

In its very first installment, AdLikha 2021 underscores the collective struggles and collective recovery of Filipinos amidst the ongoing pandemic. 

“Upon brainstorming this event, we want to see the different facets or images of recovery that are unique to the lived experiences and situations of our participants,” said Carmela Isabelle Disilio, the activity head of AdLikha 2021 and current Educational Committee Head of UP Oroquieta.

With this year’s theme, “Panimdim at Pagbangon”, the competition centers on the reflections and evaluations of the current socioeconomic status of Philippine society, in the context of Quezon Province. It also encourages participants to provide suggestions on how Filipinos can recover from challenges—both personal and national—and reclaim what they have lost. 

“With all the news and happenings going about, it is hard to choose a single topic to be highlighted in the competition. So, we thought it would be best to give our participants the freedom to choose what they want to feature in their zine, so long as it is related to the concept of recovery,” Disilio added.

Registration for AdLikha 2021 is ongoing and is open until April 10, 2021. Interested participants may know more about the event and registration processes here, or message the organization at [email protected]

To be notified of updates and other announcements, participants may reach out to the organization via Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram

Established in 1996, UP Oroquieta is a duly recognized varsitarian organization of students from Quezon Province in the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). The essential objective of the organization is to promote the university in Quezon Province and vice versa. One of its specific objectives is to initiate activities that foster holistic excellence and social awareness of its constituents.
