To describe the event ‘Who Sold It’ which requires creative and persuasive talents, it is a platform where participants will have a chance to pitch an idea about a product and create a video advertisement to convince watchers.
Now, everyone can unanimously agree that memes have made the lockdown bearable, so this is the participants’ chance to make people laugh through the medium of our second event ‘Livin’ The Meme’.
For their next event, Illusion tries to give the people, with too much to say but nowhere to say it, a little bubble to express their thoughts in an event called ‘Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si’.
A trivia for all the dreamers out there called ‘Wingardium Leviosa’ where they can prove their wizarding knowledge and feel like they belong in Harry Potter, is next in line.
