Just take out your camera and speak up about sexual health. You dont even need a fancy video camera or complex editing. You can use the camera right there on your phone, or use your laptop webcam! Then log on to the Shout or Shush page on Facebook and submit your video. Its that easy! Sexual Health: Shout or Shush? is Mulat Pinoys third annual video contest. Mulat Pinoy invites youth aged 30 and below to speak their minds on anything related to sexual health. The deadline for the submission of entries is October 15, 2012. Mulat Pinoy is looking for videos that have strong messages and say what young people are thinking about when it comes to sexual health. Good production values are well and good, but what is the point of special effects or high tech editing if you dont have something to say? Powerful messages that express youth concerns are more important in this video contest, says Dante Gagelonia, Project Coordinator of Mulat Pinoy. In 2011, Mulat Pinoys We Are RH video contest garnered over thirty entries from young people aged 25 and below from all over Metro Manila, and provinces like Quirino, Iloilo and Davao. Iloilo nurse Junnillee Arao won the first prize for her video, Tingog.
