The festival offers competitions in various categories such as art, music, and short plays. The winners of each Weekly Festival will then advance to the Monthly Festival, and if lucky, will get the chance to compete in the Annual Festival between universities. Hearing the news, Raven and her friends were immediately enthusiastic. They spent an entire night in the dormitory discussing ideas.

There was no category in this year's competition but each school presented its best three for the writing event. The writing event has more sponsors than the whole game combined. Many oil firms and companies placed huge amounts on the essay competition and the judges are external judges from the different universities of the nation as selected by the competition organizers.
