Introduction for ICNA Storytelling Competition in Digital Media
“Whoever controls the narrative, controls the world”
The main objective behind this initiative is to encourage and promote the Storytelling skills in our community.
By creating a competitive environment, we can draw the attention of our youth to learn the skill of developing and share their narrative at a larger stage and may also encourage our youth to strive a career path towards Media/Communication & Journalism.
We opted for Digital Storytelling competition to maintain the privacy of all our participants and have the collection of Digital assets which can be circulated on multiple digital platforms like whatsApp, twitter , Instagram, tik tok to raise awareness in our communities.
