What Participants Say

Gemilang Lumban Raja

Universitas LIA, 2024 Poetry Reading Participant

"In my opinion, this event has an enormous opportunity to discover talented people from all states in Indonesia. It gives participants to express their deepest thoughts without any concern to be judged by others."

Tesya Leonika

Universitas Padjadjaran, 2024 Short Story Writing 2nd place winner

"It was nice to finally have a competition branch that I'm skilled and confident at to participate. I was also drawn in by the theme, which is a nice derivation from other competitions that usually overuse the same "positive" themes over and over again. It was fun writing about a "negative" topic for once!"

Katrina Grace Kwok

Universitas Padjadjaran, 2024 Speech Participant

"One thing that I'm super satisfied of this competition is the friends that I've made there, meeting new people with different backgrounds was super refreshing and genuinely made me happy."
