Registration for MCE Global Writing Competition 2022

The Global Writing Competition 2022 aims to give students the chance to express themselves through writing using a platform with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) that can refine, enhance and perfect their writing. This will allow students to redefine the way they look at writing assignments through the help of various aided features on the platform.
