College of Architecture and Fine Arts (CAFA) and College of Maritime Education (CME) dominated the UCSC Halloween Specials 2022 through horror story narration and costume-making competitions held online on October 24-31.
Every department was asked by the UCSC to send out two contestants to represent their respective colleges in the horror story narration and one in the costume-making competition.
The participating entries were posted on the official Facebook page of the UCSC and were judged according to their entry’s relevance to the theme, originality and creativity, technical quality, and number of reactions.
With seven participants in EUko Na Moments: The Untold Stories of #Envergans, Andrew Jovan L. Talah, the CME contestant, bagged 1st place in the horror story narration competition.

Meanwhile, Mark Brian Mancenido from CAFA Jahar Ian P. Umbrete, and Christian Stephen S. Vidal from CME were tied in the 1st place in the costume-making competition entitled Costume ng EUng Lagim.
