WHAT IS THE REWARD?

• A certificate of participation will be awarded via email to all participants.

YOU MAY CONSIDER THESE SUGGESTIONS

• Turn off your TV and other mobile phones while recording the narration.
• Choose a place with natural lighting to shoot the video.
• If shooting in an large enclosed space ensure that the voice does not echo. A space with wooden & cushion furniture is likely to reduce the incidence of echoes.
• Ensure that the costume of the child is in contrast to the colour of the background.
• Teach your child to narrate with confidence and facial expressions.
