A third grade student at SD Widiatmika, Ni Komang Kania Ayulia Pradnyaswari, won the "Bumi Rempah Nusantara untuk Dunia" (Nusantara Land of Spices for The World) vlog competition held by the Directorate General of Culture of Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemdikbudristek). Ayulia became the best in this general-age category competition, among the adult participants.
"We didn't expect it at all, because she herself was the youngest participant," said Kania's father, I Made Kardena, Sunday (10/24/2021) morning.
In her vlog, Kania reviewed the similarities and differences between turmeric and temulawak. With a simple theme, Kania successfully presented it in an attractive and weighty manner like an experienced presenter. The 4 minutes 24 seconds vlog was a result from a seriously done video production with attention to the smallest detail--from shooting, properties, to accesories. Kania chose the vlog category in this competition because she knew very well the talent she has in this field. Her family helped to prepare some ideas, scripts, as well as the necessary equipment and accessories. Kardena said that his daughter has often won vlog competitions since kindergarten, from school, sub- district, district, to national levels.
"It's been common for her to vlog since 2 years ago, even since kindergarten. Whenever she travels, she likes to vlog herself. It's a hobby, it seems," said Kardena who is also a teaching staff at Udayana University.
"In the last few months she has also participate in some vlog competitions. As for this competition, we just tried it. Thank God, we got it," he continued.
Kania now already has a personal YouTube channel (Kania Ayulia) to channel her hobbies and talents in making vlogs. Until now, Kania has uploaded many vlogs in various theme and has gained 492 subscribers in her YouTube channel. Kardena said, he did not want to force Kania to become a real vlogger in the future. He wants his daughter to be anything she wants.
"No one knows the future. Many things will influence her. However, I hope Kania is still going to stay in this track, continue to develop her talent in vlogging. But,the most important thing is that she is comfortable with everything she does," he said.
