I have a doubt. Since the first round is 100 word drabble, do we need to write the entire ramayan in 100 words or just a particular scene from the story can be sent?

Check the first page of this topic for the rules and what kind of stories are acceptable.

The story of Parāyi Peṭṭa Pantirukulam from Kerala goes that Vikramāditya gave Vararuci 40 days to find the best śloka in Rāmāyaṇa, and the key words in that śloka.

On the 40th night, as desperate Vararuci slept under a banyan tree before running away from his shame, he heard the spirits prophesying that the newborn parāyā girl will marry this foolish brāhmaṇa who doesn't know māṃ viddhi. Right then, Vararuci remembered Sumitrā's blessing to Lakṣmaṇa from Ayodhyākāṇḍa 35.8:

रामं दशरथं विद्धि मां विद्धि जनकात्मजाम् ।

अयोध्याम् अटवीं विद्धि गच्छ तात यथासुखम् ।।

Rāmaṃ Daśarathaṃ viddhi māṃ viddhi Janak'ātmajām

Ayodhyām aṭavīṃ viddhi gaccha tāta yathā-sukham

Know Rāma as Daśaratha; know me as Janaka's daughter. Know Ayodhyā as the wilderness. Go, my boy, however you please.

No need to write entire Ramayan. You can write drabbles within 100 words based on particular incidents from Ramayan. Hope it clears your doubt. Waiting to read your entries, if you've any doubts please reach out via pm.
