Write to win a competition

In a twist away from writing on keyboards a national contest is asking children handwrite entries to the 2012 EBS/INTO National Handwriting Competition

The competition is celebrating its 20th year and is open to all national schools throughout Ireland. Children can enter through their local primary schools.

The competition traditionally attracts entries from more than 100,000 children each year.

Entrants this year are asked to write a piece of prose or a poem about their own family or copy in their best handwriting a piece connected to family in some way.

Students are being judged on style, flair, neatness and layout of their handwriting rather than on content

Entries are received in categories ranging from infants to sixth class, with a Special Education prize also being awarded.

A national prize giving ceremony will take place in Dublin on April 24, though what the prizes are is not specified in releases issued on the competition, so do ask the organizers.

Closing date for entries is February 24, 2012
