Here we Go.... Nationwide E-Fest 2011

At the first beginning, E-Fest (ESo Festival) was only a dream of our English Society (ESo) of Lampung University. However ESoers were trying hard to make it realized. We believe, when there is a will, there is the way. Thus, in 2009 E-Fest was born with 5 branches of competitions namely Debate, Speech, Scrabble, News Casting and Story Telling. That was aimed for students in Lampung scoped only.

Then in 2010, we held E-Fest 2010 for the second time for Lampung region still. Later, we realized that students from other institutions outside Lampung demanded E-Fest to be a nationwide English competition so everyone in the country has the same chance to participate regardless where they were from. Regarding that consideration, we welcomed some institutions outside Lampung to also join E-Fest. In the end, general trophy came to Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) because they grabbed the general winner.

So, who is next? What institution is going to get general trophy this year?

Here is the thing. We're gonna have two general trophies this year; Lampung Governor's Trophy for Varsity category, and Rector's Trophy for Senior High School category.

So, here we go...

This year, we proudly present a prestigious competition “Nationwide E-Fest 2011” that will be held on October, 13^th-17^th 2011. We would like to hold a national competition in national level, with six branches of competition namely: BP Debate, Scrabble, Speech, Story Telling, News Casting, and Wall Magazine.

Dark blue Triple the value of the tile
Light red Double the score of the word(s) which crosses it
Dark red Triple the score of the word(s) which crosses it

The score is the score of the word “space” added with the word “start”.
7. If two or more words are formed in a turn and the letter that is used in both words is in a premium box, then all the score made are counted. Example: “pace” (put horizontally) is added with the word “start” (put vertically) with the letter s in front of the letter “p” in pace so that it becomes “space, and s is in the red premium box. The score is the score of the word “space” added with the word “start”.
