"First runner-up of the Main Prize was Ayat Al-Gormezi, a 20 year old poet and student at the Faculty of Teachers in Bahrain, who was put on trial for merely expressing her opinion peacefully and openly. Her bravery and willingness to take a risk in the struggle for justice and equal rights for all, has raised awareness of the numerous women imprisoned in Bahrain."
