KATHMANDU: Real Fruit Juice, Nepal’s number one fruit juice brand, has once again come up with its annual competition ‘Real School of Nepal 2017’.

In the national level inter-school competition which has been annually carried out for the last five years, schools from across the country compete to become the Real School of Nepal. Students from the selected schools will participate in various activities that need talent, confidence, intelligence and teamwork to win this prestigious title, as per a media release. RSoN 2017 will be more exciting and competitive this year.

With the vision of having representation from all parts of the country, one more centre — Birgunj in central region — has been added this year. About 35 schools from each centre are expected to participate in the regional finals to become the regional champion and get a chance to be in the grand finale.

Cash prizes and scholarship worth more than Rs 600,000 will be given to various winners in the competition along with six laptops to the winning team of ‘Real School of Nepal 2017’ (one laptop each to the six members of the winning team at grand finale). Real will also continue the scholarship support in eight upcountry centres for two needy and talented students — a boy and a girl from each centre.

Continuing on the trend from last year, a host of competitions on Facebook will also be initiated this year to allow greater participation for students and their family members.
