With the advent of e-commerce, incidence of online counterfeiting and piracy has surfaced. With the onset of the pandemic, this problem exacerbated as people resorted to purchasing products online without the opportunity to examine or scrutinize the products and the need to buy affordable products to lessen costs for their needs.  Thus, there is a need to increase awareness of the public against the ill effects of counterfeiting and piracy.

One of ANIEE's enforcement initiatives, particularly 12.1 thereof, is on Information Awareness Activities and Private Sector Involvement in Anti-piracy and Anti-Counterfeiting Efforts in the ASEAN. This digital poster and video-making contest are in line with the 12.1 initiative of ANIEE and aims to increase the awareness of the public on intellectual property and develop respect for it through their participation in this activity and the use of these posters in IP awareness campaign in the ASEAN. 

For the national level contest, five (5) winners will be chosen for each contest:

  • 1st place: Php 15,000.00 and  will be the PHL official entry to the regional contest
  • 2nd place: Php10,000.00
