Among the various literary award categories at the event, Getz Pharma was a proud sponsor of multiple awards. One was the Eqbal Ahmed Center for Public Education (EACPE) Video Competition 2016, themed ‘Making Change in Pakistan – What Works, What Doesn’t.’ The competition encourages aspiring videographers and enthusiasts to make short videos on important social issues of Pakistan. A panel of judges selected from the areas of education, literature, and art, judge the videos and three winning entries are screened at the Karachi Literature Festival (KLF). Winners were presented with awards by Mr. Khalid Mahmood, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Getz Pharma, who attended the event to boost the confidence of the winners and encourage newcomers to participate and showcase their talent in the arts.
