Your Opinion Matters !! Competition by Together - We Can. We Will !!: Register Now !!

TOGETHER.WCWW November 14, 2020



About The Competition 

As Young Minds, our brain keeps generating different ideas and perspectives regarding everything latest happening around us. Sometimes, we even tend to share our viewpoint with people using different social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others. But it unfortunately does not result into any fruitful outcome or solution because the kind of audience there, is either not interested in logical arguments or does not takes social media debates seriously or in place of constructive criticism they convert it into an ugly spat. 

We, at Together We Can We Will, respect opinions of each and every individual having courage to keep out his or her wisdom of words with utmost dignity and respect leading to the betterment of our society. 

Hence, we are announcing a never-before-organised event YOUR OPINION MATTERS! giving a stage to our fellow-countrymen to speak out their opinions without any fear or hesitation. 

The Competition will be held in Two Rounds. 

1. Pen Down Perspective 

2. Say it Out!

  3. Top 30 write-ups will be selected and be qualified for the next round.
