The World Handwriting Contest in now accepting entries.
Contest Categories
Within each age group, the judges will sort submissions into two categories of handwriting.
- Functional Handwriting:
- Functional handwriting strives for legibility, speed, and fluency without aiming at artistic effect. For this category, the judges will further separate entries as cursive, which joins 50% or more of its letters or manuscript printing, which joins fewer than half of its letters.
- Artistic Handwriting:
- Artistic handwriting uses a monoline or calligraphy marker, pen, or brush along with decorative strokes, flourishes, and/or combinations of shading, hairlines and/or thick and thin strokes to create an artistic effect.
Awards
- The World Handwriting Contest awards first and second prizes in each of the above categories and subcategories.
- Prize-winners’ names and writing samples are announced and posted on this website and our social media by October. Winners’ names & handwriting samples are displayed on this website for a full year.
