    Another contest suggestion

    After a forced leave of eight days and immediately thereafter a long tour to a border-state for nine days (where internet connection is extremely poor), today morning I opened ISC in my laptop and found this Forum post by the Managing Editor: "February 2023 Schedule of Contests".

    From that post, I have come to know that there is only one contest by the management during the entire month.

    I humbly propose another contest, subject to the approval of the ISC management.

    The participating members will write a 200 words (two-hundred words) write-up on a lesser-known event of their favourite idol (the idol may be a movie star, sport star, academician, politician, freedom-fighter, social reformer, anything). The other participants will have to identify the person from the write-up.

    The winner will be decided based on the quality of the write-up and the correct identification (from the events described by other participants) by the Editors.

    The time-span of the contest may be of 15 days.

    I hope the Editors and the members will consider this contest proposal.

    Partha, thanks for coming up with yet another suggestion for a contest. The idea has been put up for consideration.

    The admin has showed the green signal and we are going ahead with the contest. The guidelines and rules to be followed will be announced in the contest thread shortly. Members are requested to please keep a track so that we get to have lot many write-ups and lot many guesses.

    I am locking this thread now.
