6PM announced today the first QuickCompetition winner, with participants submitting numerous amounts of papers in relation to User Involvement in various Business Practices. The winner, Ms. Michela Sammut, was selected by a panel of experts on the subject. Ms. Michela Sammut is a 21-year old student persuing a Bachelor of Education degree at the University of Malta. Her paper excellently covers how to best implement ‚ "Involving the User Representatives throughout the project lifecycle” in a business structure.

“We’re pleased to see such a strong response to our QuickCompetition” said 6PM Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ivan Bartolo. “This is about giving QuickPM users the opportunity to share their knowledge while being given the chance to win fantastic prizes such as the new iPad and more importantly the opportunity to win a post-graduate scholarship at the end of the 18-month period.“ Last September, 6PM launched the QuickCompetition initiative. This initiative will last for eighteen months and allows participants to learn whilst earning rewards such as the new iPad, the Acer One Happy Netbook, trips abroad and much more. At the end of the 18-month programme, 6PM will also be rewarding the overall winner with a Post Graduate scholarship as well as an opportunity to work within 6PM in Malta, London or Macedonia. QuickCompetition is part of QuickFocus. Within Quickfocus.com, there are several pages that have not been completed. Every two months, the QuickTeam will be launching a new competition whereby users will be provided with a link to the Competition page. Every participant will have their work reviewed by an independent QuickEditorialTeam and a winner will be announced. After the 18 months, the top three participants will also be eligible to compete for a job opportunity within the 6PM Group and an online Post Graduate scholarship in collaboration with Laureate International University (www.laureate.net).
