Filipina Writing Contest

Now's your chance to write an essay and win as much as P5,000 in cash prizes.

Since people are celebrating Women's Month in March 2008, Wikipilipinas.org is opening a portal called the Encyclopedia of Philippine Women, where you will find a compilation of achievements of Filipinas worldwide.

In addition, Filipiniana.net will launch a Philippine Women's Studies Microsite feature the literary and scholarly works of Filipina writers.

As part of this Filipina-centric campaign, WikiPilipinas partners with FilipinImages as they launch Filipina Stories, an essay-writing contest which focuses on any of the following sub-themes:

1. The Iconography of the Modern Filipina;
2. The Commercialization of the Filipina through the Internet; and
3. The Role of Bloggers in Uplifting the Image of the Filipina.
