The competition seeks to raise awareness and encourage activism on important social issues, and encourage the use of new media in Pakistan.

These unprecedented times have affected everyone around us and we would want to see from your vantage point, how have you seen these times? Did it change your perception about something or did it make you a better person or did it bring out the worst in you? How have the things changed around you? Has your paradigm shifted to another level?

It could be your story or someone that you know or something that you saw and you wish for the world to see it too. So pick up your cameras or your phones, and show us

A NOTE FROM NOAM CHOMSKY

“The EACPE record is very impressive, and hopeful — a rarity these days. About the webpage (design), I don’t have anything useful to say. Have little experience that’s relevant. To me personally, the range and choice of topics is appealing and impressive. I can’t think of any useful way to improve it.”
