For countries, fostering participation among creative talents becomes a strategic move, one that promises to elevate their national profile by showcasing their inherent creative strengths and capabilities. This collective endeavor, where each entry and recognition contributes to the larger narrative of a country's creative prowess, underscores the interconnectedness of individual achievements and national prestige.
