Choosing a winner became a difficult task for our team. The entries were intriguing and contestants showed mastery of the subject matter.

I am excited to see what the March edition has in store for us"

This Digital Literacy Contest is part of our Digital Literacy Project currently under implementation with funds from the US Embassy in Cameroon. We kicked off by training 46 youths and Influencers in the Southwest Region around these concepts and who at the end took a commitment to use tech for the promotion of peace and Truth guided by the following tags:

#Toktrue #PepperTheTruth
#ThinkB4UClick.

One of our judges of the contest Ndamo Damaris after this second evaluation notes, the entries were impressive.

"I am very much impressed with the entries this month.Each contestant brought in their unique flavor and proved their readiness to carry the message beyond. Last month edition had four entries and the fact that it doubled to 8 this edition depicts how widely the campaign is spreading,reaching out to more people across the globe.Hence, more awareness on the subject" Ndamo Damaris.

The March edition will be launched on March 20, 2022 on our social media pages.
