According to the organizers, most of the participants were around 16 to 20 years of age. While participants showcased different talents like slam poetry, standup performance and speed poetry, it was beat boxing and rap that dominated the performances.
The organizers stated that they were pleasantly surprised to see the talent in the country and they're looking forward to seeing serious contenders in the finals.
At the finale, the contestants will be able to showcase their creativity and talent in front of the rapper. The audience will be able to vote for their favorite performance and their favorite 'Clear Bol' Challenger. Depending on their votes, as many as three contestants will be declared winners.
The winners will also get the chance to be featured in an original Yama Buddha rap song.
