Each team of RAC consists of 3 person (two announcers and one operator). They have 30 minutes to broadcast the hardnews and softnews script that had been provided by the committee.

Mahaka Media) and Hendy Okta Permana (representative of Heavenly Blush). They commented every team?s broadcasting and evaluated them based on the broadcasting creativity, technique and punctuality.
 
 
 
For most of the participants, this competition is the first experience for them. Because of that, the tense atmosphere could be felt just from seeing their expressions. As UPH team said, “This is the first time we are competing in radio broadcasting. We had about one week for preparation but we still got tense when we entered the broadcast room. Even so, we had given our best and hopefully we can win this”. The same sympathy was also conveyed by UNTAR team, “We were clumsy at several parts, due to different broadcast tools and atmosphere. The restricted topics were also giving us a hard time. But, the criticism and constructive feedback from the judges are very constructive. We are still optimistic to win this?.
 
Meanwhile in Building F fl.10, a Call for Paper competition was taking place. The competition invited student who have passion to conduct research and write a report. For this competition, the committee set “The Role of Youths in Using New Media to Deliver Its Impact on Society” as the main theme. Through this theme, the Comvee 2014 committee encouraged participants to contribute their ideas in the utilization of new media that can contribute positive impacts for the society.
 
Out of the collected papers, five teams were invited to present their report in front of the judges. The five selected papers are written by 3 teams from Universitas Bunda Mulia, 1 team from Universitas Telkom Bandung, and 1 individual participant from UPH. The closed-presentation took 20 minutes and continued with questions from the judges for about 10 minutes.
