The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF) is one of the biggest and most respected literary festivals in Southeast Asia. Held annually in Ubud, Bali, this festival not only celebrates literature but also shines a light on important social, cultural, and humanitarian issues. The 2024 edition is set to take place from October 23 to 27, featuring 336 speakers from various fields ready to inspire and share their insights. One of the main sponsors of the festival is Paramatex, which is bringing high-quality products like cotton combed 24s t-shirts and eco-friendly tote bags.

A Bit of History Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF)

UWRF kicked off in 2004 and has rapidly grown, attracting writers, readers, and literature lovers from around the globe. It was founded by Janet DeNeefe, an Australian writer and entrepreneur living in Bali. Her vision was to create a space for dialogue and the exchange of ideas, making UWRF a crucial platform for both local and international authors. This year, the festival is introducing a new initiative called the “Book Launch Program,” helping writers showcase their work with support from sponsors like Paramatex.

Theme and Values

The theme for UWRF 2024 is “Satyam Vada Dharmam Chara: Speak the Truth, Practice Kindness.” This theme highlights the importance of truth and kindness, values that align perfectly with Paramatex’s commitment to making a positive impact through quality products and sustainable practices.

Comfortable Cotton Combed 24s T-Shirts

As an official sponsor, Paramatex is providing cotton combed 24s t-shirts that are perfect for Ubud’s often unpredictable weather, which can swing between hot and rainy. Made from breathable material that wicks away sweat, these shirts offer maximum comfort for festival-goers. Plus, their stylish designs make them a great choice for wearing throughout the event, ensuring everyone can enjoy the festival without worrying about the weather.

Popular Blacu Tote Bags

Another standout product from Paramatex is their blacu tote bag. This bag has quickly become one of the hottest merchandise items at UWRF 2024. With its bright design and multifunctionality, it’s perfect for carrying essentials like books and stationery, which participants will definitely need. Even though everyone gets a tote bag during registration, many attendees opt to buy an extra one because of its practicality and sleek minimalist design.

Paramatex’s Open Booth at UWRF

To further showcase their commitment to sustainability, Paramatex will have an open booth at UWRF 2024. Visitors will have the chance to check out a range of eco-friendly and sustainable products. This is a great opportunity for participants to learn more about sustainable practices in the textile industry and how Paramatex is contributing to a better world.

The festival aims to bring literature closer to everyone, encouraging kids and teenagers to explore the world of writing. Through educational programs and partnerships with local schools, UWRF creates opportunities for young people to discover and love literature, supported by sustainable products like those from Paramatex.
