Fellow campus journalist:
Greetings from the National Office!
The College Editors Guild of the Philippines will hold its 69th National Student Press Convention (NSPC) on 16-20 May at Ouan’s Worth Farm and Resort, Lucena City, Quezon.
The Guild is the oldest and largest intercollegiate alliance of student publications in the country. This year, CEGP celebrates its 77th year of existence committed to the advancement of campus press freedom.
The NSPC will provide lectures and workshops on basic, intermediate and advanced journalism skills. Likewise, trainings in different literary genres will be given. And as part of the Guild’s dedication to educating student journalists regarding the plight of the country, various socio-political discussions will also be featured.
Also, the following awards will be given to outstanding publications:
10th GAWAD ERJ Named after CEGP President Emeritus Ernesto Rodriguez Jr. This is the search for outstanding student publications in the country. The contest has two categories: major (tabloid, broadsheet, magazine,) and minor (website, alternative form, literary folio). In the major category, a publication may join only one form. In the minor category, a publication may join all the forms.
5th GAWAD Beng In honor of the dedication of martyred CEGP Vice President for Mindanao Benjaline “Beng” Hernandez in protecting and promoting human rights, Gawad Beng is the award given to the publication with an exemplary program on human rights. Beng, who also worked as a human rights volunteer, was murdered by soldiers while conducting a fact-finding mission at Arakan Valley, Cotabato on April 5, 2002. In this award, a particular program on human rights accompanied by photos, narrative report or video is to be judged (you can use any of these materials).
GAWAD Marcelo H. Del Pilar This is the highest citation given by the Guild to its outstanding alumni.
