Postscript to the Judging

The stories were read with no names revealed, so we only found out after the judging that Issa Alarilla-Arellano is based in Dubai. She is the first OFW to win our storywriting competition. :-)

AND THE WINNER IS...

CANVAS is pleased to announce that Issa Alarilla-Arellano has won CANVAS' 2010 Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition for her story, "Tahan Na, Tahanan." It was a close vote against Angela Mapa's "Rain Song on the River," but the result was unanimous.

The other finalists were "Patubiling" by Alice Mallari, "The Boy Who Dreams to Cross the Ocean" by Catherine Nanta, and "Ang Alamat ng Pagong" by Joseph Villarosa.

Thank you to our judges, Rica Bolipata Santos and Carlos Celdran, and everyone who participated, and congratulations to Ms. Alarilla-Arellano and the rest of the finalists!

Watch out for the launching of the book, sometime in mid 2011!
