1. What is MediAction! ?
 

MediAction! is a year-round public outreach initiative organised by the Media Development Authority (MDA) to inspire Singaporeans to discover the benefits and possibilities that media can offer for work, learning and play.

It comprises a series of engaging and fun events for everyone - students, parents, educators and the public.
some of the past activities were:

AnimateNOW!

Create your own animation for free and stand to win prizes! AnimateNOW! is an online animation competition that runs from June to November 2006, at the AnimateNOW! website. Contestants create their own flash animations, which are voted by the public. Each month, the voted top 5 animations for each category (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Open) are assessed by a panel of judges where the top winner will win prizes sponsored by Toonz and Wacom.

 
Moving Minds

Film enthusiasts have the opportunity to curate their own film festivals or organise film-related events that will combine their passion for films with the business acumen of entrepreneurship.

2. What is the definition of media?
 

The media refer to the various platforms including film, publishing, music, TV and radio, which deliver rich information and entertainment to us. With the advent and convergence of technology, interactive and digital media (IDM) have become increasingly pervasive in our lives. IDM comprises digital content and entertainment including film, music, photography, arts, videography and games.

 

3. Why MediAction! ?
 

MDA organizes MediAction! a public education and outreach campaign to offer all Singaporeans through a string of events and initiatives the opportunities and platforms to understand the benefits of media and learn how to use media to enrich their life. MediAction! seeks to inculcate media literacy skills in Singaporeans, encourage them to showcase their creativity by producing content, and equip them with the knowledge to use media in a discerning and responsible way through inculcating Cyberwellness.

MediAction! is also part of the MDA's development initiative to nurture the growth of the media industry, and position Singapore as a vibrant global media city. As part of the MEDIA 21 blueprint, the MDA aims to increase the GDP generated by the media industry to 3% from the current 1.56% and create 10,000 more jobs.

 

4. When is MediAction! ?
 

While MediAction! is a year-round campaign, we focus on two key windows: Broadcast Asia in June-July and Asia Media Festival in November-December. During these two key periods, public outreach activities will complement trade events to create greater buzz and generate more interesting opportunities for both public and trade participants.
