In order to grow and accommodate student creativity in terms of papers and ethnophotography, the Cultural Anthropology study program at Udayana University held an activity called the Scientific Anthropology Competition (LIA). This year, LIA has entered its fourth year since it was first implemented in 2020. LIA IV has the theme "Food Independence Based on Local Wisdom," and is structured around several series of activities. One of the events is a colloquium of results from LIA IV 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners this time. As the closing of all series of LIA IV events, the results seminar was held on Friday, September 29 2023 at BPNB Bali.

This seminar on the results of LIA IV was held not only to introduce and appreciate the speakers. More than that, this activity was carried out with the hope of motivating participants to be more enthusiastic about their work and it is hoped that participants can increase their insight in terms of presenting an ethnophotographic papers. Looking at the current situation, most of young people prefer modern things, so this seminar also explains how local wisdom can support national resilience, especially in the food sector.

Referring to the entire series of LIA IV activities, the results seminar is the closing activity after the previous activities, namely the workshop, registration and collection of works, judging, and the announcement of the competition winners. Taking approximately 7 months to prepare, LIA IV was successfully implemented according to the previously fixed target time schedule. During this time, all preparations were carried out thoroughly in order to run the activity smoothly and minimize "miscommunication" between the committee, participants and speakers. Regarding the time for the seminar, through a rundown of activities, all preparations for the day start from 10.00 WITA for the committee, until ending at 16.20 WITA.

This seminar received several positive opinions regarding the implementation of LIA this year from competition participants, seminar participants and speakers. For the competition participants, this activity is expected to be carried out regularly every year as a forum for student creativity in honing their reasoning and abilities in creating scientific papers. Mrs. Alif, as the Head of the Cultural Anthropology Study Program at Udayana University, believes that activities like this are very useful for training students' sensitivity to the situation around them, especially regarding the existence and role of food as part of local wisdom.

The participation of several parties has a big influence on the success of this year's LIA implementation. Involving several students from the Cultural Anthropology study program at Udayana University as the committee, the Head of the Cultural Anthropology Study Program at Udayana University as the person in charge of the activity, as well as several lecturers who accompanied them during the activity. Apart from that, the enthusiasm of the participants, both competition participants and seminar participants, is very worthy of appreciation in order to improve the next activities. (ji)
