As part of the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival (UWRF) 2019, NOW! Bali invites any inspiring writing out there to submit their work and get published!

In a campaign we’re calling ‘Readers Can Be Writers Too’, inline with UWRF, we want you to tap into your creative abilities, put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and let the ‘conversation’ flow.

THE BRIEF

In 300 to 600 words, answer in your own opinion:

“How can Bali stay ‘authentic’ in the midst of modernisation and development, if it can at all?”
