** The Contest judges and director will select winners each year, beginning in July and continuing if necessary through September.

** Prize-winners’ names and writing-samples typically appear on the Contest web-page as soon as possible after the judging – in other words, July or August when possible (but, if necessary, beginning in September or October) and remain on display on the Contest web-page for a full year (until after the judging of the next year’s contest), At that time, the new prize-winners’ names and writing-samples will replace them.

** WHC distributes prizes to the contest-winners each year, distributing all prizes by December.

** Mail your entry as early as possible. Postal systems can take several days or weeks to deliver an envelope, particularly when the mail must travel between countries.We cannot accept any facsimile (fax). Electronic submissions may be made by email as provided below.

Please Note :
** We ask each writer to submit only one entry each year. An individual who has written more than one entry must select only one entry to send.
** In order to avoid overwork for our judges, beginning in 2008 the World Handwriting Contest will disqualify writers who send more than one entry.

Who May Enter :
Anyone in the world, age 8 or over, may enter the World Handwriting Contest. Our team of judges will evaluate your entry within ONE of the following age groups.
1. Children (age 7 and under)
2. Pre-Teens (ages 8 through 12)
3. Teens (ages 13 through 19)
4. Adults (ages 20 through 64)
5. Seniors (ages 65 and older)

Please Note :
** in 2006 and previously, the Contest had only four age groups because during those years we did not accept entries from those age 8 and under.

** For 2007 and future years, we have changed this rule and will now accept entries from those age 8 and under, designating this judging group as “Children.”
** Accordingly, we have changed the name of the 8-through-12 age group from “Children” to “Pre-Teens.”

Within each age group, the judges will sort submissions into two categories of handwriting :
Functional Handwriting : which strives for legibility, speed, and fluency without aiming at artistic effect. For this category, the judges will further separate entries as cursive or manuscript (printing).

Cursive : joins 50% or more of its letters.

Manuscript : (print-writing) – joins fewer than 50% of its letters.

Artistic Handwriting :
** uses a monoline or calligraphy marker, pen, or brush along with decorative strokes, flourishes, or combinations of shading and hairlines to create an artistic effect.
** WHC will award first and second prizes in each of these categories and subcategories.

What Must I Do :
** We provide two quotes (given below) for contestants to write.
** Contestants under age 12 should write out the first (shorter) of the two copy-quotes.

NOTE:
** Contestants younger than age 8 do not have to write out the whole quote, but they must write at least the first two sentences of the quote. Contestants age 8 or older must write the entire quote.)

** Contestants ages 13 and older should write out the second (longer) copy-quote.
** Write out and submit the quote selected for your age group. Please do not write additional material within your entry.
** Use either lined or unlined paper, 81/2 x 11 inches or A4 size.

** Use any of the following writing instruments: ballpoint pen, fountain pen, felt/fiber tip marker, or calligraphy pen/brush. (Use the same writing instrument throughout the entry.) Because we scan winning entries for display, please use only black ink and white or light-colored paper (plain or lined) with no pre-printed pictures or decorations..

** The written quote must fit on the front side of ONE sheet of paper. Allow at least a 1/2-inch margin on all sides of the quote.
