The award ceremony was opened by the manager of XGRR Mr. Gaspar Quintino Freitas. In this ceremony he expressed his gratitude and congratulates the winners of this competition and all participants who took part in this competition. He underlined that this competition was an instrument to facilitate the talents and motivate them to continue writing in order to develop their talents to write stories or do research in larger content so can give the benefit to the community.
Through this ceremony also Mr. Gaspar expressed his gratitude to the amahoro association for conducting this competition: “thank you to the amahoro association for creating this opportunity together with young people by doing this competition in our place”
Besides that Mrs. Teruko Saito as president of the amohoro association also gave thanks to XGRR for being collaboration with them to run this competition: “We want to say thank you for Mr. Gaspar and also the XGRR staff because so far they have helped this project and we are a small and new association, if without the help of XGRR we can’t run this project”.
Total number of participants who submitted their stories in this competition was 34 people, mostly young writers (19 males & 15 females). Through a very selective process we selected the best three stories with the following winner categories:
- Winner for SPECIAL AWARD is Rohim Adya Agel Putra for his story titled “Mau nehek nia adventura” (The adventure of Mau Ant). The Amahoro Assosiation will produce this story in a book with image illustration and to be launched this year.

- Winner for AMAHORO AWARD is Tarcisio do Carmo Pereira Soares for his story titled “Fulan no Loro-Matan” (The Moon and the Sun).
Rohim Adya Agel Putra feels happy and proud because his story passed the selection and can be the winner in this competition. “I am very grateful because I can get the trust as a winner and I think this is very extraordinary because I learned to write for a long time and finally there are results and this motivate me to continue writing stories”.
Apart from handing over the award to the winners, XGRR and the amahoro association also handed over “CERTIFICATE APPRECIATION” to everyone who has submitted their stories to this competition.
