The contest was announced broadly through newspapers and schools nationwide. Total of 355 essays were sent from 22 high schools all over the country. A university professor, a high rank government official and two NGO personnel judged the contest and chose 40 winners. They received a scholarship of 2,400 taka (approx. 4320 yen) one year worth of 200 taka per month.
One judge commented that "Students considered the future of this country more profoundly than I imagined. I was much inspired by an excellent essay which criticized the government for not leading the country properly, and the writing filled with strong determination and passion to change the country." The top ten essays were bound as a book of collective essays and delivered to government officials and teachers throughout the country.
