SACMID launches online competition to combat fake news with creative ideas
South Asia Center for Media and Development (SACMID) has arranged an online competition, 'Submit your Original Creation: Create from Home', where artists and creators are encouraged to submit their works on different categories through posters, songs, parodies, comics and audio-visual stories to raise awareness about fake news, rumours and disinformation.
During these troubling times, fake news and misinformation pose a great threat on the internet and social media. Many who share and forward fake news stories are unaware of their implications. The competition aims to raise awareness against spreading fake news and to encourage the citizens of our country to fact check information before sharing it on different platforms.
Bangladeshi citizens above 15 years old can submit their works and win BDT 10,000 as the first prize. The deadline for submissions is June 20. The competition is supported by Free Press Unlimited, a Netherlands-based media development organisation.
