Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are truly thankful for your continued support in all of our school activities. This year might still be a struggle for all of us knowing
that the COVID-19 Pandemic does still exist and many activities have been hampered. It is sad to note that we could not deal with
our schoolchildren face-to-face because of the persistent threat of the virus. However, this predicament will never thwart the plans
that we have for your children. We will take the activities in the comfort of your homes thru online platforms.
This month we are celebrating the National Reading Month with the theme: “Bawat Bata Bumabasa sa Kabila ng Hamon ng
Pandemya”. Concerning this, the school will conduct a Cosplay contest wherein students choose their favorite fictional characters
derived from books, cartoons, anime and film. The use of original characters, political figures, and religious icons are greatly
prohibited. Each teacher will choose the top 3 students who meet the desired criteria for judging AND will represent his/her section.
Below are the further mechanics and criteria for this event:
a) Participants - The contest is open to all Grade 1 pupils in Bulua Central School.
b) Costume - Attire must be appropriate for the chosen character. The costume should cover the private parts of
our children. We strictly forbid indecent and lewd costumes.
c) Props - The props should be safe enough to use by the pupils. We greatly discourage the use of real objects, but we
allow replicas of them either made out of plastic or wood. Although we consider the use of replicas in this event, we do not
consider those objects that are sharp or might harm your children.
d) Backdrop - The participants can use edited background images. If unavailable, use plain white background.
e) Quote or Line – Cosplayers must prepare a message or line quoted from their favorite chosen characters.
f) Video content must show:
• Your child wearing the costume with props;
• Quoted line from their chosen characters either from the film or books.
• The video must only be 2 minutes, 30 seconds. Do not exceed from the time limit.
g) Format and Submission of the Photo:
• Long-sized bond paper
• Portrait Mode
• Child’s name must be written on the top but the section must NOT be indicated
• November 22, 2021 (Monday)
