To assist MI staff to better understand how its training courses are received and utilized by our participants, MI recently launched the Alumni Writing Contest. 

The contest provided our alumni with an opportunity to share – in a written piece – their experiences at MI and the impact of their experience on their work and in their everyday lives. 

The team of judges comprising MI department heads and subject-matter experts have reviewed the submitted essays. They unanimously agree there are six entries of equal high quality, as assessed against the criteria defined in the contest rules and regulations. Thus, to ensure these contributions are all recognized, the judges have decided to reward each of these entries and will combine the prize-pool and divide it equally between the six selected entries. Each of these six contestants will receive THB 10,000! Congratulations! 

Below are the names and details of the six winners:
