The Sugbo Vlog Challenge is aimed at showcasing youth-driven initiatives that promote sustainable development. It encourages the participants to produce creative and impactful content of their own LGUs inspired by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Entries were judged based on four criteria such as focus on sustainability (30%). Creativity and originality (30%), youth participation (25%), and engagement (15%).
Strict contest rules were implemented to ensure fairness, prohibiting plagiarism, boosting posts, or any inappropriate content. The winning entries of the competition were the product of deliberations of twenty Cebuano vloggers whose votes comprising the 50% came from the deliberation of the Department of Interior and Local Government Cebu Province.
The Capitol has committed at least 12.1 million pesos in prizes for the winners and special awardees. This event, led by Board Member Loren Singco, marks the first time all SK officials are actively and collectively working together to promote the province’s projects and programs.
