Essay Writing Competition 2025 for School and College Students

In celebration of World Intellectual Property Day 2025, IP4Kids, a widely respected initiative by S.S. Rana & Co., invites students across schools and colleges to participate in three exciting national-level competitions. The aim is to encourage young minds to explore the importance of copyright protection in music, creativity, and innovation.

These competitions provide a platform for students to creatively express their ideas on how copyright law affects the music industry and how respecting these rights fosters a more innovative and fair creative landscape.

Competitions Open for Entry

1. Script It! – Essay Writing Competition

2. Comic Strip Making Competition

Each competition is centered around thought-provoking themes designed to make participants reflect on the challenges and opportunities within the music and copyright ecosystem.
