Emmanuel Bonney, Executive Director of BEKOFI, organisers of the festival, told Showbiz in an interview that ‘‘This festival was inspired by our desire to create a platform for people involved in poetry, animation, music and the fine arts because there are untapped talents with regards to creative arts in Ghana and there are so many young people with amazing potentials.
