Participate In International Student Essay Contest '23

Essay writing is an art, which brings out your writing skill. It is an art, through which you pen down your knowledge and perception about the given topic. GEMA is a highly acclaimed After School Activity Platform, that brings together technology to the education sector and providing requisite support to students, parents and school administrations.

Our intent is to make writing related writing extracurricular activities accessible through technology-driven solutions. We encourage participants to develop not only the skills of penning down their thoughts but also creativity, research, and organization skills. We believe in the enrichment of society by empowering young individuals with constructive thinking for creating positive ambience for the overall societal growth.

The whole idea of this setup is to be a platform where kids from across the world can share their opinions on different topics. This gives them a sense of global citizenship and where they stand globally in terms of understanding on a particular topic.

Participants should write in english language without copying from google. Participants are free to choose any title of their own on the given topic. The participants should present their essay in a convincing way so that the essay does not look like a mundane article created by easily available data from the internet.

Last date of Registration & Submission: 30 November '23 midnight (UTC Time)
