“The preliminary phase will have 100 participants and three of the five finalists from each category in the four cities of Blantyre, Lilongwe, Mzuzu and Zomba will proceed to the national level. Sixty  participants will battle it out for the top prize,” he said.

He added: “Judges will be looking at factors like scripture content presentation, skills in delivery, costume, audience reception and entertainment value.”

Performances will be in either English or any vernacular language and in music, poetry, dance, scripture recital and drama categories.
