There and Back again, i would take myself pride in posting in my blog the announcement for the most awaited quizzing event in the city- The QFI Open Quiz
As Follows
The QFI Open Quiz 2008
The Quiz Foundation of India (Chennai Chapter), in association with Indian Terrain is proud to announce 'The QFI Open Quiz 2008', the fourth edition of the annual open quiz, which has become a fixture on the Chennai quizzing calendar.
The QFI Opens of the last three years have been resounding successes, attracting more than 120 teams each time, including some from Hyderabad, Bangalore, and even Ahmedabad. This time, the quiz promises to be both bigger and better. You can read The Hindu's review of the QFI Open 2006
here, and the reviews of the 2007 edition
here (The Hindu, focuses on the Indian Cinema Quiz) and
here (The New Indian Express, focuses on the Open Quiz).
Apart from being original, well researched and immensely entertaining, the QFI Open also aims at making quizzing a fun experience for everyone involved. It will try and bring to a wider audience the same mix of light-hearted fun and serious high-standard quizzing that is seen at QFI's fortnightly meetings.
It is an open quiz with no conditions whatsoever for participation. All are welcome to participate. Prizes include cash and Landmark gift vouchers. I will be conducting the quiz helped with research from my team-mates Krishnamurti and Vikram. Please do come and have fun. There will a Books quiz in the morning at 10:00 a.m conducted by my good friend and superstar quizzer
Samanth Subramanian at the same venue. Plenty of audience prizes from Landmark also on offer. The details are as follows:
