Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

As  this year’s Nagrika's Annual Youth Writing Contest comes to a close, we stand in awe and appreciate the remarkable response from participants from over 100 diverse cities across India. This year's contest has celebrated shared experiences, collective imagination, and intergenerational wisdom.

With heartfelt gratitude, we thank all the young minds who took the time to contribute their thoughts and visions. Your words have woven stories of memories, aspirations, and dreams, bridging our cities' past and future in a way that only your unique voices could.

From the bustling metropolises to the serene towns, your stories have painted vivid pictures of cities and what they could be. Each entry has added a brushstroke to the vibrant canvas of urban narratives. 

To the winners and all those who poured their hearts into their submissions, your efforts will forever be etched into Nagrika's legacy. Youth voices through the entries echo the love for your cities, your stories, and your belief in the power of collective imagination.

Congratulations to each participant for being part of Nagrika's Annual Youth Writing Contest 2023!

Thank you for making our fourth writing contest a success, and we eagerly look forward to more opportunities to collaborate, share, and envision a brighter urban future together.
