The Gawad Panitikan Pangkalusugan is a NATIONWIDE children’s storybook writing competition with HEALTH as its main theme. Entries written in English are geared to bring into light health issues and concepts to Filipino children aged 5 to 10 years.

It challenges participants to break away from a clinical, straightforward and sanitized presentation of health and to mold it in a form that is enjoyable and of interest for its young audience.

The project not only seeks to raise relevant health issues to the national consciousness, it also carries an advocacy for literacy and education, even as it celebrates Filipino ingenuity and culture.
