Shrieks, loud applauses and the look of disbelief among winners — these are the moments the virtual staging of Pilipinas Shell's National Students Art Competition (NSAC) culmination could not capture in past editions since the pandemic. Fortunately for the competition and participating students, the 55th edition was finally able to gather an intimate number of people to hold the awarding ceremony face-to-face for the first time since 2019."When the Top 3 were called, you could see their joy. And even if they were wearing masks, the moment they were called, their eyes would tell you everything," Serge Bernal, Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation's vice president for Corporation Relations, told The Sunday Times Magazine at the sidelines of the culminating event held at Ayala Museum in Makati.
