In the previous edition, the titles were claimed by Kaya Daluwatte in the girls’ division and Haroon Aslam in the boys’ division.

The participants will be categorized into four age brackets: Gold Division (15-18 years), Silver Division (12-14 years), Bronze Division (10-11 years), and Copper Division (under-9 years).

Notably, contenders in the Gold and Silver Divisions for girls, as well as boys in the Gold Category, will have the opportunity to vie for the coveted Rukmini Kodagoda Trophy and the distinguished titles of Junior Boys Champion and Junior Girls Champion, respectively.
