Become a sponsor.

Every baht of sponsorship money goes to competitor prizes — not to overhead. Your support directly funds the cash prize a young person from Isan walks home with on the night.

Why this is worth your money.

English fluency in Isan is a generational lever. A 19-year-old from a rice-farming village who can speak English on a stage in front of 200 people is a 19-year-old who can apply for a scholarship, take a job in tourism, or start a business that talks to the world. We give 24 such people each year a moment they will carry for the rest of their lives — and a cash prize that, for many of them, is more money than their family has held at one time.

"I didn't think the money would change my life. I thought it was symbolic. Then I came home and my mother had been hiding a bill from a moneylender. The ฿15,000 paid it. She slept that night for the first time in three months. Then she said, 'Tell another story next year.'"

— Niranya Promson, Buriram regional winner 2025
