We introduce ourselves as ‘People’s Reflections’, a Platform made for people where one can express views, opinions, and thoughts on any subject. The only condition is the write-up shall be original and not published already on any platform/ website.

Competitions are the best way to motivate talented people to present their thoughts and encourage their talent before a large audience.

We are happy to announce once again a ‘Writing Competition’ for the month of May-2022 and invite budding writers, journalists, students, and authors to express their views.

Writing is often inventive and experimental in nature, and it is no surprise that it takes several different forms. After organising writing competitions on different topics for our writers, we have thought of attempting an Open Theme also for the May 2022 Writing Competition apart from another Writing Competition for May 2022 with the theme “Amazing India”. CLICK HERE to check this competition.

In ‘Open Theme’, you can write articles on any topic of your expertise.

This is an attempt to give freedom to our authors from the standard pattern of Writing Competition. We hope, our writers will appreciate and enjoy writing something different this time.

Here are the links to see the results of the previous months:
