Marriott International will award cash prizes for the two best entries of Rs 12,000 and Rs 8,000. The winners will also be given an all-expenses paid trip to Mumbai to attend the prize-giving ceremony at the JW Marriott Hotel.

And, what is the topic? Well, students can choose from diverse topics such as `Spirit to serve in the hospitality industry', Technology in the hospitality industry', `Success is never final' and `Tourism & Hospitality — how they co-relate and co-exist'.
