Our guiding themes this season are; Cybersecurity/Online safety, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the environment.
Your production, therefore, should show internet intrigues occasioned by the pandemic. You can also do productions related to the environment and how conserving the environment is important to humanity. All these tri-thematic areas can be handled in one production or you can choose to handle one theme in one production. For example, the DIY craft and art category can focus on how to recycle items or how to use trash to create treasurable artistic pieces. As you choose an appropriate theme to handle, your productions should adhere to the following rules;
1. All productions MUST be clean content and family-friendly without explicit scenes.
2. In the case of students they must be members of a school; however, homeschooling students are also eligible to participate registered under a homeschooling body.
