Consequently, due to high demand mostly from the SLTC community, the WIN magazine organizing committee decided to extend the deadline for submissions until the 31 st of December 2020. So the second round for submissions was initiated to grab the amazing creations of our talented girls on the theme "Send us your creations- Unleash your creative soul". The next procedure was to choose the best articles from all the submissions. Therefore, the best and the outstanding articles were judged and were chosen by a panel of professionals.
