One thing that is very interesting about this competition is that this competition is specifically for sisters (women/college students). As we know so far, Darussalam Gontor University does separate the male and female campuses as in its management at the Gontor Islamic Boarding School. Even though the committee consists of only female students, they are very agile in carrying out every activity and jobdesk they have. The organizers and participants who are all women make the relationship between them more than just competing in this competition. Many of them have kept in touch until now.
