Amaranthine Media celebrates creativity, learning, family fun, and child talent at the fourth edition of TimeBender Fest in Port Harcourt
Port Harcourt, Nigeria — On Saturday, 23rd May, at The Arena, GRA, Port Harcourt, Amaranthine Media held the fourth edition of TimeBender Fest Children’s Day Fiesta and Learning Party, a colourful, wholesome, and highly engaging family event created to celebrate children through creativity, learning, play, performance, and joyful community experiences.
The event brought together children, parents, vendors, creatives, educators, and families for a full day of learning games, dance battles, animation, interactive activities, marketplace experiences, and the much-anticipated TimeBender Fest Talent Discovery Competition. 
The Talent Discovery Competition was one of the major highlights of the day. Following an online selection process, nine finalists emerged to showcase their gifts before a live audience. The finalists represented a rich mix of child creativity and excellence, ranging from acrobatics, acrodance, saxophone performance, science demonstrations, spoken word, ballet, visual art, music, and more.
It was a splendid display of talent, courage, and creativity from children who reminded the audience that greatness can begin early when children are given the right platform, encouragement, and support.
At the end of the competition, Wonder of God Emmanuel, a young saxophonist, emerged winner and went home with a ₦200,000 cash prize. Runners-up, including Precious Godwin and Ihechi Okorie, also received cash prizes through the Children’s Creative Grant. The Children’s Creative Grant is an initiative of Amaranthine Media and the TimeBender Tribe designed to support talented children at an early stage by providing them with encouragement, visibility, and financial support to nurture their creative gifts.
Speaking at the event, the Convener and Curator of TimeBender Fest, Jennifer Nkem-Eneanya, also known as The Unstoppable Jennie, described the festival as more than just a Children’s Day celebration.
“TimeBender Fest was created because we believe children deserve spaces where they can learn, play, express themselves, discover their gifts, and feel truly celebrated. Every year, we are reminded that children are not waiting to become creative; they are already creative. What they need is a safe, joyful, and supportive platform that tells them: we see you, we believe in you, and your gifts matter. Through the Children’s Creative Grant, Amaranthine Media and the TimeBender Tribe are making a deliberate contribution to raising confident, creative, and inspired children.
” TimeBender Fest 4.0 also featured the growing TimeBender Marketplace, where families could shop for child-friendly products, books, learning materials, and TimeBender-branded items, including the newly launched Kiliwe the TimeBender school bag sets, water bottles, lunchboxes, pencil cases, books, and play materials.
The event further reinforced the vision of the TimeBender Tribe, a community of parents, children, creators, and supporters committed to spreading joy while learning through wholesome African family entertainment.
