Award Night: Nationwide Call, Coordination, and the Stadium Ceremony (1986)

The record emphasizes that “sponsorship” and “coordination” were decisive in moving the event forward. The call for entries listed supporting parties and positioned the initiative as an expression of youth aspirations for peace and civic responsibility. Operationally, organizers relied on established cooperation through local photography activities and on-the-ground channels—including village-level coordination—to negotiate, sign, and archive sponsorship arrangements. These steps enabled the competition to formally launch and to distribute the call for submissions at scale.

The process was not smooth. In an environment where seniority and established hierarchies carried weight—and where the organization itself was newly formed—the record notes that interference and resistance emerged. Multiple rounds of communication and coordination were required, alongside attention and support from local leaders, media, and relevant stakeholders.

Ultimately, on the evening of December 5, 1986, the awards ceremony was held at a stadium as scheduled. The record describes the event as successfully completed, framing it as a return for sustained effort and highlighting the intensity of emotion present at the ceremony.
