PHILIPPINES, JANUARY 18, 2011 – This year, the Creative Guild of the Philippines partners with the Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) for the Kidlat Festival. The country’s premier creative festival goes back to the white sand beach of Boracay for Kidlat Festival 2011 on May 1 to 4 at the Boracay Regency. The festival, themed “Sexy Again!”, promises an exciting array of local and foreign speakers in two full days of talks capped by the Creative Guild & KBP Kidlat Awards on the final night.
Innovations in Kidlat Awards 2011 include the new category Design and an extensive Crafts category across disciplines. Print ads that are “unpublished but worth resurrecting” will vie for the new category, The Lazarus Award, the winner of which will be determined by popularity voting during the Festival.
The awards is open to both 4As and non-4As members. Early bird deadline is on January 31, 2011; regular deadline is on February 15, 2011. Rules and entry forms can be downloaded from the brand-new Creative Guild of the Philippines website at www.creativeguildph.com. More details on Kidlat Festival 2011 will be announced as they are finalized.
