A contest is generally held after Bobby Chakraborty’s ever popular anti addiction campaigns at schools,colleges and universities,with the purpose of keeping the children and young minds in the loop of every point of awareness discussed within his session.
There are 3 categories of participation.

b) Artwork
c) Audio visual presentation
The theme of the entries is strictly the traits of awareness against all sorts of addiction(smoking, alcoholism,smart phones)and harmful social trends (abusive language, online obscenity, online gambling, bullying, ragging etc.), which were discussed within the session.
The contest of anti addiction campaigns no. 481(February 25th) at Biren Mahanti Memorial Govt. ITI and no. 482(February 26th) at Govt. ITI Ranibandh, both colleges being in the Bankura district of West Bengal, garnered a tremendous response from the students.
AAC 481 contest had the following rank holders:-
1st – Sathi Patra(Computer Operator and Programming Assistant-COPA) , who wrote a powerful poem, urging the youth to awaken and fight against the evil forces of addiction.
2nd – Surya Das(Fitter), who drew a powerful poster against all sorts of addiction.
3rd – Ritesh Batabyal(COPA), who sketched a powerful figure of a distraught man drowning in the darkness of addiction and the problems he is facing .
AAC 482 contest had far superior entries and Bobby had a tough time to select the rank holders:-
1st – Bisnupada Mahato(Fitter) ,who made an interesting short film with the help of his friends to raise a voice against addiction among the youth.
2nd – Bulet Sutradhar(Fitter) , who sketched a powerful poster titled ‘I am The King of My Mind', which is also the title of Bobby's awareness program and featured Bobby's image in it too.
3rd – Suman Das(COPA), who wrote an extremely impactful poem with the theme of HCF(Health - Career-Family), which is also the core aspect of this global , free of cost awareness program of Bobby.
A special participation award in the AAC 482 contest was given to Sayantan Das(Electrician) , who made a brilliant short film encapsulating the whole session on February 26th and the message of Bobby through it. But this well made film failed to qualify for the main contest as it didn’t comply with the time limitation of the contest.
All the six rank holders and awardees are entitled to special prizes and community service certificates from Bobby.
Bobby, who’s a renowned actor/activist/teacher of method acting from Kolkata, praised both the College Managements and their socially responsible Project Head Anjan Biswas, for collaborating with him and his noble mission so deeply.
