If you want to put your production crew on the map, win massive recognition, and compete for exciting prizes, here is everything you need to know to secure your spot.
What is the DavNor Tourism Ad-Athon 2026?
The DavNor Tourism Ad-Athon 2026 is not your typical video contest. It is a fast-paced, immersive production marathon where selected creative teams are assigned a specific LGU in Davao del Norte through a dynamic “draw lots” system.
What Can Selected Teams Expect?
Participating in this tourism ad-athon gives your team unprecedented access and resources to showcase your production talent:
Assigned LGU Immersion: Work hand-in-hand with local tourism officers to discover hidden gems that regular tourists rarely see.
Dynamic Visual Storytelling: Highlight local delicacies, ecological wonders, ancestral heritage, and adventure activities.
Broad Exposure: Winning and nominated entries will be featured across major provincial tourism campaigns, exposing your work to thousands of travelers and industry professionals.
Exciting Prizes: Compete against the best creative minds in the region for major cash prizes and trophies.
What Can Selected Teams Expect?
To maintain high production value and fair play, the Provincial Tourism Office has set clear parameters for participating crews:
Team Composition
- Size: Minimum of 3 members and a maximum of 6 members per team.
- Eligibility: Open to filmmakers, professional content creators, college students, media practitioners, tourism advocates, and freelance creative professionals.
- Core Roles: It is highly recommended that your crew includes specialized roles such as writers, directors, producers, videographers, photographers, editors, graphic artists, motion designers, and social media strategists.
Only 11 Teams Will Be Accepted!
Due to the intensive coordination required with host LGUs, only 11 creative teams will be accepted into the official lineup. This means spots are extremely limited, and screening will be highly competitive. The selection committee will look for teams with a strong portfolio, clear storytelling capabilities, and a genuine passion for promoting Mindanaoan hospitality and eco-tourism.How to Register for the DavNor Tourism Ad-Athon 2026
