Bicutan, Taguig City — The Department of Science and Technology–Technology Application and Promotion Institute (DOST-TAPI) is set to culminate the 4th edition of Gawad Alunig x Dalumat (GAxD) 2025. This nationwide creative campaign empowers Filipino creatives to promote grassroots innovations through compelling visual storytelling.
DOST-TAPIS’s GAxD 2025 marks a strategic shift from science citizen journalism to science visual storytelling. This year’s campaign leverages short-form video advertisements and photo essay features. Through Gawad Alunig, participants produced creative advertisements that translated complex technologies into engaging narratives, while Gawad Dalumat highlighted in-depth visual storytelling that showcased the unique value of Filipino innovations through photography and concise written features.
The GAxD 2025 campaign served as a public relations tool of the Institute to get leads to potential technology proponents, linking them to DOST-TAPI’s programs and services.
