Growing internet users in Pakistan, emergence and then dominance of social networks in our daily life coupled with development of local content has unleashed the opportunity for businesses to market their products over cyberspace.
However, it is largely felt that the essence of Digital Media is still unknown to many, particularly at grass root level. We have seen over the time that conventional wisdom of old media was unable to cater the techniques and approaches of new media.

•Third Prize: PKR 25,000
Moreover:
