We recommend that you appear in the video in person, if you wish introduce yourself as well as your poem, and then recite your poem whatever way you like. You can add colour and attractiveness to your video by choosing attractive costumes, background, voice modulation and of course, a beautiful smile on your face.

Submission of video is not compulsory. If you have any queries, email us at aifestevents@gmail.com However, please make sure that you read the instructions carefully before making a query.
