Tough competitions were conducted on the following activities with their judging criteria:

-The Cultural Dance: music quality, choreography, synchronization, depiction of the theme, costumes, group participation; -The Food: students’ participation in the prep, food sales, presentation of dishes; -The Booth: discipline & student response, decoration, display of cultural exhibits, efforts and design, overall appearance; -The Beauty Pageant/Fashion Show: creativity, authenticity of costumes, depiction of theme, and originality.

The remarkable success of the program was due to the collaborative efforts of the students and teachers.
