The year 2021 saw the worst COVID19 cases yet as the world battled through waves of infections and several mutations f the virus. Death count soared and people were losing hope. People were losing each other.
Despite moments of health and economic relief, life was very difficult and the future was uncertain. There were a few pageants conducted locally and abroad but the highly restricted proceedings resulted in much less desired outcome. As BHF is designed to highly impact the society by educating and empowering the youth in areas of culture and heritage, we find it pointless to carry on with such limitations and restrictions. The result would certainly be disappointing.
The world economy suffered and local businesses found it hard to survive. This meant that sponsors are very hard to find and funding BHF was near impossible. As more people lose their jobs and livelihood, it is hard to imagine the ability of prospect candidates going through their BHF preparation amidst their financial turmoil. We may not have any candidate!
And so we waited for the year to pass.

Below was our effort in continuing the audition via online submission but as the situation got worse, we figured it was not advisable to continue with the audition and decided to postpone everything till it was safe to run events again....

We are proud to have successfully continued the legacy of Borneo Hornbill Festival Ethnic Pageant with 10th Edition of BHF Pageant & Ethnic Dance Competition which began in January 2018 and concluded in May 2018.
The approaching grand final coincided with Malaysia General Election 2018 which had built up in epic proportion thanks to Najib and Jho Low. As most Malaysians were focused on the election and many went back to their respective hometown for the election, BHF Grand Final became overshadowed and lost half of the anticipated audience. Nevertheless, we made do with all we had and pulled it off quite well.
All participants went through a meaningful pageant experience and went home with a genuine sense of cultural pride and respect for other cultures. They gain knowledge to better appreciate Borneo culture and confidence to educate others about the value of their heritage.
The details and emotions are evident in photos linked below.

Selamat petang para hakim dan semua tetamu. Nama saya Ricky anak James berasal dari Kampong Bungai dipedalaman daerah Bau. Pejalananan ke kampong memgambil lebih kurang 1 jam dari bandar Kuching. Pada masa ini saya masih melanjutkan pelajaran peringkat degree di UNIMAS dalam bidang kesenian.
Pasti ramai kenal “Tuak” atau di Sabah dikenali sebagai “Lihing”. Minuman ini diberi semasa menyambut tetamu. Malangnya kini minuman ini disalah guna dan mengambil secara berlebihan sehingga mabuk. Satu kajian telah dijalankan di Universiti Malaysia Sabah dan di laporkan dalam JOURNAL OF TROPICAL BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION, mendapati rice wine yang diperbuat daripada beras biasa mempunyai tahap antioxidant yang tinggi. Ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa tuak bagus jika diminum dengan tahapa yang dibenarkan.
