Lluvia De Pariso, a fourth-grade student from Bangladesh, has won the prestigious Silver Award for the second time in the Junior Category (under 14) of the Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition (QCEC) 2025.
This marks his second consecutive win. The QCEC, the world's oldest international writing competition, celebrates young talents in creative writing across the Commonwealth.
Chosen from 53,434 entries submitted from 56 countries and judged by 650 judges, Lluvia impressed with his imaginative storytelling, emotional depth, and unique perspective, according to a statement.
His winning piece, titled "Commonwealth Heads of Animals Meeting (CHOAM) 2025: Towards Sustainable Existence", stood out for its creativity, powerful language, and heartfelt message. The essay reflects his vision of animal safety worldwide and the responsible role of humankind.
In 2024, Lluvia won the Silver Award for his essay "My Talking Day with the Marine Creatures", which imagined participating in beach cleaning and interacting with sea creatures from their perspective.
A student at Sir John Wilson School in Dhaka, Lluvia is the son of Rumky Farhana, an international human rights activist and development professional.

His family, teachers, and friends celebrated his achievement, calling it "an inspiration for young dreamers everywhere."
