Filipina Stories

Filipina StoriesWikiPilipinas.org is launching a special portal on Filipino women  in partnership with Filipina Images and the UP Center for Women’s Studies in time for the celebration of Women’s Month in March 2008. An associated microsite on women’s studies will also be hosted in Filipiniana.net. Both the portal and the microsite aim to profile and celebrate the achievements of Filipinas through time and adversity.

To kick things off, WikiPilipinas and Filipina Images  are sponsoring an essay writing contest called Filipina Stories with the theme “Uplifting the Image of the Filipina.”

The winning essay will receive P5,000. Runners-up will get P3,000 and P2,000 respectively. Deadline of submission of entries is on February 29, 2008.

For the complete contest rules, please visit the Filipina Stories contest page.

*Filipina Images is a collaborative blog by Lorna Lardizabal-Dietz, Noemi Lardizabal-Dado and Dine Racoma. Dedicated to reshaping and changing world views about Filipino women, it advocates the real representation of Filipinas across the globe. For so long, whenever one searches the word “Filipina” in Google or Yahoo, pages of search results pointing to dating and porn sites pop up.  Filipina Images has changed all that but they need people to keep on blogging. Join the campaign.
