For Immediate Release
May 12, 2026

Dear Participants,

First and foremost, we would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who submitted their essay on time. Your dedication and enthusiasm for this initiative are truly appreciated. We will send acknowledgment letters confirming receipt of submitted essays shortly.

Due to widespread interest and logistical considerations, we carefully decided to revise the submission deadline to provide participants with additional time. The new deadline for essay submissions is: November 27, 2026 | 11:59 PM Eastern Time (ET)

We understand that extending the deadline after receiving submissions may come as an unexpected change for those who submitted their essays on time. Your essays remain under consideration, and if preferred, any revised submissions will be accepted during the extended deadline.

We also apologize for the delayed communication regarding this decision. We hope this extension will allow participants adequate time to finalize and submit their essays.

For submission guidelines, eligibility criteria, and full details, please refer to the document below:

Sincerely,

Navaratnam Srinarayanadas | President, Tamil Rights Group
