“Dito sa UP Law: Many Voices, One Community”, the first-ever literary and visual folio of the UP College of Law will is open to all members of the UP Law Community (i.e. enrolled students and faculty and staff of the College). Entrants may submit their original works, which may be any type of literary or visual work that can be included in a literary folio. Any individual or group may submit a maximum of two (2) entries, which must not have been published previously.
Following the most challenging year in recent history, the proposed theme for the online literary folio is “After the Lockdown: Braving New Paths.” The publication will feature original creations of members of the UP Law Community, reflecting on their experiences during the continuing pandemic—adding a different color to the public’s understanding of the life of law students and practitioners.
Upon publication of the literary folio, special jury awards may also be granted by a panel of judges after evaluation of the entries’ creativity and execution. All creative writing and visual art entries accepted only until the extended deadline: 19 May 2021.
