"Cultural Fest 2.0," a national youth talent competition is set to take place on November 15 at the Aloki Convention Centre in Gulshan in the capital. 

Organised by Event Box, in partnership with Aarong Dairy, the event has been designed to celebrate creativity and provide a platform for emerging talent. 

The competition will bring together students from 15 prominent universities across Bangladesh. Participants from both public and private institutions will compete in four key categories: dance, music, theatre, and painting. 

Following the competition, attendees will enjoy live performances by five well-known bands—Callypso, Tarun Band, Kaaktaal, AvoidRafa, and Shironamhin.

Sabrina Rahman, CEO of Event Box and the lead organiser of Cultural Fest, emphasised the event's vision, stating, "Our mission is to inspire the next generation by offering them a space to express their creativity. We believe that events like this not only encourage individual growth but also support cultural development across the country."
