The Civil Service Commission (CSC) is hosting a nationwide photography contest for state workers to capture the stories of the heroes behind the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.
The contest aims to highlight through images the various ways the country’s civil servants have risen to the challenges brought about by the pandemic, the CSC said on its website.
Deadline of submission of entries is on July 30.
The contest is part of the 121st Philippine Civil Service Anniversary and will be open to all government workers regardless of employment status.
