Doon Po Sa Amin (DPSA) is a video-making competition that enjoins Filipinos to share their hometown stories. It is organized and SMART Communications annually since 2008.
DPSA is a nationwide competition with two divisions:
- the Student Division for high school and college students, and
- Open Division for other Pinoys.
Student Division
A team joining the Student Division must be composed of 10 members. It must consist of 7 to 9 high school or college students and 1 to 3 teachers or coaches. Students may be from different levels, sections, or courses but all must be officially enrolled in the same school or university. All team members must be Philippine residents.
Open Division
A team joining the Open Division must be composed of 8 to 10 professional or non-professional filmmakers. The team must have a designated Official Representative. Characters in the video or production crew members can be counted as team members. All team members must be Philippine residents.
Competitors from both divison may compete in any of 3 categories. They may create any of the following:
- a Music Video,
