Speaking at the programme, the joint director of IPR, Asangla Imsong, stressed the relevance of Vlogs in this present era as they offer a personal and dynamic way for individuals to share experiences and perspectives. She added that with the rise of platforms like YouTube and social media, Vlogs now serve as a powerful medium for content creators to connect with audiences globally by providing diverse content on a wide range of topics.
The Vlog competition was organised on the theme “Feathers of Hornbill Festival” over the 10-day period where participants shared short videos shot during the Hornbill Festival 2023.
