One thing that is very interesting about this competition is that this competition is specifically for female students (women/students). As we know so far, Darussalam Gontor University separates the men's and women's campuses, such as in its management at the Gontor Islamic Boarding School. Even though the committee only consists of female students, they are very skilled in carrying out every activity and job description they have. The committee and participants, who are all women, make the relationship that exists between them more than just competing in this competition. Many of them still keep in touch to this day.
