Davao City – The Davao City Information Office (CIO) has re-opened the Hulagway sa Davao Photo Contest in celebration of the Araw ng Dabaw 2021 with the theme: #StayHome #SaveMoney #SaveLives.

Hulagway sa Davao is a quarterly photo and video contest organized by the City Government of Davao under the CIO aimed at promoting Davao City as a desirable place to invest, visit, and live in.

The quarterly contests were put on hold last year due to restrictions imposed against the spread of Covid-19.

Jefry Tupas, the Chief Information Officer, said that photographs will be judged based on how they creatively incorporate the city’s call to Stay Home, Save Money, Save Lives as part of the campaign to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“Previously, photo entries were judged per category in line with Araw ng Dabaw events. This year, since Araw ng Dabaw is celebrated online, we decided to go along with its theme which is #StayHome #SaveMoney #SaveLives. Also, to promote the city’s campaign against Covid-19. The city government will reward photographs that display the most creative, inspiring story while staying at home during the Covid-19 pandemic,” Tupas said.

Dubbed as Hulagway sa Araw ng Dabaw 2021: #StayHome Photo Contest is open and free to all photographers (professionals, hobbyists, phone photographers) who are residents of Davao City.
