Out of a pool of 200 participants, we meticulously handpicked 35  individuals to partake in an immersive initiative focused on interviewing, writing, and editing first-person narratives of queer individuals from diverse structural backgrounds. 

Queerspeak 1.0, a two-month competitive program aimed to provide a platform for queer writers to intimately engage with a myriad of queer voices. Following a rigorous selection process, the top 20 candidates emerged winners, earning various cash prizes.
