Snap And Write – Online Creativity Contest Platform

📝 Project Summary:

Snap And Write was an all-India online contest platform that celebrated creativity through photography, art, essay writing, and poetry competitions. It was launched as a personal side project during the COVID-19 lockdown to provide a digital stage for talent across India.

I led the project from concept to launch — hiring and managing a remote team of designers, developers, and marketers to bring the vision to life.
