The program invites emerging writers from all corners of Indonesia to submit their stories annually. A curatorial committee carefully selects aspiring novelists, poets, and playwrights to be featured in the Anthology, unveiled at the prestigious annual Festival in October.
With 449 submissions received in 2024, the series has become one of Indonesia's most influential literary accomplishments, showcasing the diverse voices and talents of writers from across the archipelago.
