It is an honor for me to be invited back as a judge," he continued.
I really appreciate Kwikku's consistent efforts to create a writing competition. This is a quality show. From the start, it gave space and opportunities for anyone to appear and be recognized at the national level. So far, this competition has succeeded in producing writings from superior talents, "said A. Fuadi. I am happy and grateful to be invited back to be one of the judges," he added.
During the journey of writing, I became acquainted and met many talented novice writers friends, but did not have the opportunity to show their works to be more known to the public or to readers. With the competition to write Kwikku this year, hopefully it can provide opportunities for many writers to show their best works.
