The Taipei Water Department is hosting the inaugural "Endless Flow! 2024 Cypher Tournament" this year, attracting 200 students from high schools and universities nationwide to participate. The final showdown will take place on April 27th at 4 p.m. With 46 teams contending for the top spot, their original songs reflect the youth's concern for the Earth and the environment. Through their music, they convey their solidarity and now, the top 20 school clubs eagerly await your encouragement and backing!

According to the Taipei Water Department, the event will kick off at 2 p.m. on April 27th, with the 11th to 20th ranked schools performing warm-up acts at the second stage within the Hunsui Pumping Station, a city-designated historical monument. Starting at 4 p.m., the top 10 will perform on the main stage at Gongguan Waterfront Plaza, where the winner of the "Best Live Performance Award" will be determined by the audience's cheers. This is an open stage for students to express themselves and showcase their attitudes, using music and cheers to inspire more people to face the significant impact that climate change brings to the Earth.
