DOST-TAPI launched Gawad Alunig x Dalumat, a Science Journalism Competition, to inspire students and other aspiring writers and broadcasters to showcase their talent by sharing science stories and highlighting innovation in the Philippines.
The winners will receive cash prizes! The awards ceremony will take place in Pasay City, Philippines, in October of this year, at the National Youth Science Technology Innovation Festival (NYSTIF).
