Berkah Tanah Pertiwi, or Blessing of The Motherland, won 3rd place at Animakini (the National Animation Competition) and 4th place at Gemastik 14 (an Annual National Competition held by the Ministry of Education and Culture).
This animation was created by 3 people (Zahirah, Zahra, Deus) in just 33 days while balancing multiple university assignments simultaneously. The project underwent a thorough and detailed process to bring its message to life: Indonesia, known as the "Mother of Spices," is home to a rich diversity of spices that have long been prized worldwide. Spices are an integral part of Indonesia's cultural heritage and offer health benefits. With the theme of COVID-19, the animation highlights the importance of traditional spices in boosting immunity, especially in challenging times.

Younger generations, like Kandis and her friends, are less familiar with traditional spice-based products such as Jamu (Indonesian herbal drinks). Kandis is concerned about this matter, as spices are vital to Indonesia's cultural heritage and help boost immunity, especially in the new normal era.
