About the Competition

On the International Day of Happiness, celebrated on the 20th of March 2024, enthusiasts from around the globe eagerly participated in a captivating Story Writing Competition. The event aimed to inspire creativity and spread joy through the power of storytelling. Writers of all ages and backgrounds shared their unique narratives, weaving tales that explored the essence of happiness in diverse settings and circumstances.

From heartwarming anecdotes to imaginative fables, the entries reflected a rich tapestry of human experiences, emphasizing the universal pursuit of joy. The competition not only fostered a sense of global camaraderie but also underscored the belief that storytelling can be a potent force in promoting happiness and understanding across borders.

As the world celebrated this special day, the stories served as beacons of positivity, reminding us all of the profound impact that happiness, shared through words, can have on the human spirit. Stories are central to human existence. Humans have been telling stories since we could speak, and potentially by forms of sign language even before that. Stories have always been the best way to incorporate our views and emotions.
