They said that those who are interested to participate in the campaign should submit their entries in three different categories – Covid-19 awareness campaigns, survival stories in the time of pandemic and campaigns supporting corona fighters, health workers, political leaders and government officials,” said Raju Menon, General Secretary, K3A.

Dany Antony, MD, Zero Degree said, "The campaign is designed for the advertising agencies functioning in the state. They can submit the Corona-based creatives of their brands as entries to the campaign. The selected creatives will be placed on the Kochi Metro BillBoards for 15 days at free of cost.” said Dany Antony, MD, Zero Degree.

There are awards to win as well. "... Six awards will be given for the best creatives in three categories. The winners will be honoured at a mega event planned after the culmination of the campaign.

While each of the three winners in the Gold category will get a cash prize of Rs 50,000, winners in the Silver category will receive a cash prize of Rs 25,000. The selected entries will also get certificates," said Menon.
