While the maiden edition of the My Report debate was a huge success, the second edition was no less rewarding for the participants!

Syed Muiz Qadri from Srinagar won Rs 10,000 in the English category, and Amit Kumar Singh from Bijnor won the same from the Hindi category.

The top 10 from both categories were awarded a certificate of merit and their articles were published on The Quint.

Interestingly, participants who made it to top 10 category in the first edition also participated the second time around!

“I have been participating in The Quint’s essay competitions and I must admit that I am enjoying it. I participated in both editions.”

What, except making their families proud, keeps the winners motivated? The winner from the English category tells us.

“Getting recognition from such a big platform on a national level is in itself a great motivating factor.”

Abhishek Singh Rao, who participated in both editions, echoes the sentiment.

“When you hear that your essay is among the top 10 in country-wide submissions it inspires you to write in the future.”
