The event is organized by the United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh (UNYSAB), Rajshahi Division, to foster creativity and innovation among the country’s youth.

Earlier, UNYSAB Rajshahi Division gained recognition for hosting the region’s first national-level Model UN (UNYSAB MUN) and National Youth Leadership Summit.

With this latest event, the organization aims to set another milestone.

The two-month-long competition, starting Tuesday, will run until October 25, with the grand finale scheduled for November 1 on the Rajshahi University campus.

A total prize pool of Tk 215,000 has been announced.

The competition will feature three major segments.

The Business Case Competition carries a prize money of Tk 115,000, where teams will be tasked with presenting practical solutions to real-world business challenges.

The Creative Content Writing segment offers Tk 50,000 in prizes to recognize young writers for their originality and storytelling skills.

Meanwhile, the Promo Ad Making segment, also offering Tk 50,000, has been designed to highlight students’ creativity in advertising and media production.

Registration is open until September 30 (online) and September 25 (offline).

Campus ambassadors, club partners, and college students will enjoy special discounts for the Business Case Competition.
