| Youthful Creativity Meets Consumer Advocacy at the Regional Digital Poster Making Contest
Today, September 29, 2026, the halls of the Cordillera School of Digital Arts (CSDA) buzzed with vivid color, sharp concepts, and the boundless creative energy of Senior High School students from across the Cordillera region. Gathering on campus, these young digital creators faced off in the Regional Digital Poster Making Contest to kick off early celebrations for National Consumer Welfare Month.
Armed with laptops, graphics tablets, and a passion for visual storytelling, the contestants brought this yearโs themeโ"Safe Products, Confident Consumers"โto life. Their goal: translate complex consumer issues into striking visual art that informs, empowers, and protects their fellow Cordillerans.
Throughout the intense competition, participants tackled real-world concerns, designing graphics that highlight safety compliance seals, critical label reading, and fundamental consumer rights. As noted by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the initiative intentionally taps into the creative voice of the youth, turning them into active consumer welfare advocates within their schools and communities.
In his message to the participants, DTI Cordillera Administrative Region Regional Director Atty. Raymond G. Panhon urged contestants to see their art as a vehicle for public awareness. He emphasized that a well-crafted graphic can directly influence daily choicesโfrom picking groceries at the neighborhood market to selecting building materials at the hardware store.
Ultimately, the event underscores a powerful movement: steering digital literacy and visual designโskills inherent to Gen Zโtoward civic duty and consumer safety.
This regional contest sets the stage for a month-long lineup of initiatives organized across the Cordillera Administrative Region throughout Consumer Welfare Month this October.
