Ever wondered if you are truly the author of your choices, or just a character following a script written by someone else?
Ever felt like you were in the right place, but somehow never quite belonged? Like a beautiful story written for a completely different chapter? Strange how some questions have no easy answers, and some places make us feel more ourselves precisely because we do not fit in. But what if we told you that these thoughts, questions, and contradictions are exactly where great stories begin?
The Zerone is back with the Online Article Writing Competition 2027! Put your thoughts into words and explore two intriguing themes:
Paradox of Free Will
Beautifully Out of Place
Whether you wish to question the choices that define us, find meaning in being different, or explore an entirely unexpected perspective, there is a story waiting to be told. The competition is open to everyone, so you do not have to be a student of Pulchowk Campus to participate!
