We at BlogAdda have always believed in the power of women, and this is why we loved associating with Gillette Venus for the #UseYourAnd activity. #UseYourAnd aimed at bringing out the various facets of women, multiple dimensions that make them the wonderful individuals that they are. After an overwhleming response from Indian bloggers, it is now time to announce the winners of #UseYourAnd!
We asked bloggers to write about ‘things that defined them’ or ‘A Journey from OR to AND’, which sought to inspire women to shun the OR, the compromise, and reach for their full potential. The responses that we got were amazing to say the least, stories of how real women threw off the shackles that bound them and embraced their AND.
Now without further ado, let’s take a look at who are the winners of #UseYourAnd. Blogger extraordinaire Kiran Manral was the judge for this activity and these are the blog posts that she adjudged to be the best entries. This is what she had to say about the winning entries –
First Prize: Rs. 25,000 cash
Divyakshi for her blog post ‘Poonam’s AND story!’
A well written story of a real life encounter that shows a positive change in rural India, where a young woman refused to be bound by one dimensional labels.
Second Prize: Rs. 15,000 cash
Heena Shah Dhedhi for her blog post ‘Break The Shackles, #UseYourAnd‘
A blog post that used visuals well and showed how women of all ages can vow to be free from limitations and embrace their full potential with ‘AND’.
Many congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who opened their hearts and their lives for the #UseYourAnd activity! You’ve inspired women everywhere to fulfil all their dreams to the best of their potential. 🙂
