Hellen said the objective of the competition is for the youths to express their talents, and also to see whether it is possible to conduct practical lessons, such as music and drama, online. "They were taught for four weeks through Google Meet lessons. Specific days for class and extra classes to ensure they are well taught and are ready to sing," she said. "There was an award for drama winners, who got six scholarships, while for musicians, we got 12 producers to work with the finalists." The greatest challenge was connectivity, especially with contestants from the rural areas.
