The Ken Spillman and NBDCS AFCC Subsidy |
|
Once a year, participants come to the Asian Festival for Children’s Content (AFCC) in Singapore to meet and mingle with writers, illustrators, publishers, editors, and producers of excellent children’s content. You come, too.
To assist Filipino creators to access regional opportunities, Australian children’s author Ken Spillman has made available a grant of Ten Thousand Pesos (P10,000.00) to help defray the expenses of attending the AFCC held annually in Singapore.
To qualify, applicants must have published at least one full-length work for children or young adults. Evidence of the published work may take the form of a PDF file attached to the application or a link to the site where the work is sold.
Applicants are also asked to submit a resumé and a maximum of 500 words explaining how attendance at the AFCC might be expected to contribute to the applicant’s development and profile as a writer. A statement on why the applicant needs the grant may also be considered but is not a requirement. A commitment to attend the AFCC is also expected by showing proof that the applicant will pay or look for other resources to fund other expected expenses in the attendance of the AFCC.
The National Book Development Council of Singapore (NBDCS) will also give the chosen recipient a fifty percent (50%) discount on the AFCC registration fee. A special code will be emailed to the chosen applicant which code may be used to register online.
With the above-stated requirements, applications may be emailed to

NBDB's Highly Recommended Supplementary Materials Launched |
|
To launch the list of quality books and readings that can be used as supplementary materials, the National Book Development Board (NBDB), in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd), organized the Highly Recommended Supplementary Materials Conference and Book Fair that was held last 27-28 November 2012 at the Mega Trade Hall I, SM Mega Mall, Mandaluyong City.
The Book Fair boasted of award-winning books and reading materials published locally. A number of books which passed the screening conducted by Network of Outstanding Teachers and Educators (NOTED) were also exhibited. Next to the Book Fair, an academic and scholarly conference was held. The use of local culture and the latest technology in educating the youth was emphasized.
The HRSM list and the related events aim to help the educators from the public and private schools in making intelligent choices in the vetting of supplementary books and materials for use in their respective schools.
