The Inter School Announcing Competition is one such benevolent occurrence included in the list of our events where the announcing abilities of students all over Sri Lanka are given the opportunity to bring to limelight. The first edition of this event had been kicked off in 2000 as a small-scaled competition with a participation of students from few provinces in Sinhala and English medium categories. Stepping further ahead, Tamil medium announcing competitions were also included to the list in 2009 after the civil conflict with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ended, joining schoolchildren from all parts of Sri Lanka including war-affected areas such as Jaffna, Mulativu, Puttalam and Mannar.
We are proud to be the planners of this colossal perception known as “ISAC” which is the longest successively running, only competition in Sri Lanka to be directly supervised by a state ministry: Ministry of Parliament Reforms and Mass Media, only tri-lingual announcing competition in Sri Lanka and the most celebrated announcing competition in the country where participation itself is an honor to a student. This competition has been a boon to thousands of teenagers to heighten their skills further and gain a great deal of experiences in the realm of announcing.
Likewise, this year too the Broadcasting Unit of Ananda College schedules to hold the 16th edition of Sri Lanka’s biggest and most fêted Inter School Announcing Competition (ISAC) on Saturday 17th October and Sunday 18th October 2015 from 08:00 a.m. onwards at Ananda College premises under the supervision of the Ministry of Parliament Reforms and Mass Media.
