Hi Pritam, Thanks for sharing this .. what are the benefits for the awardees?
The dates for filing nominations for the Manthan award have been extended to Sept 15th, 2009. Please log on for more info
Also one question for you Pritam on the format of the competition - how many winners will there be and when will be they be notified? the grand jury planned for Oct 8-10: is that the event where the finalists will present and winners will be felicitated? is it open for anyone to attend?
As for your query, although the Grand Jury would assemble during October 8 - 10 '09 and chose about 40 winners (it varies year to year according to the quality of the nominations received ), the results itself wont be disclosed to the winners or for that matter anybody until the Award Gala & Summit due to be held during Dec 17-19 '09. We do it as a matter of policy.
