Welcome!
Hello, Bwindi256, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles.

Further explanation
Hi - I just deleted the new article you created. Much of it was copied directly from online sources, which is a violation of our copyright policies; also, the tone of the content was far too promotional. Can I ask whether you have a connection to the subject - do you perhaps work for the foundation that organises the awards, or have they paid you or your employer to write this article? If so, you need to read and abide by the restrictions at COI and PAID. Advise for how to write your first article can be found at FIRST. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  10:16, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
