Galway children encouraged to get writing

Galway children are encouraged to get writing on the theme of ‘family’ and take part in the 2012 EBS/INTO National Handwriting Competition

The competition, which is an annual campaign to highlight the importance of having good handwriting, is celebrating its 20th year. It is open to all national schools and children can enter through their local primary schools.

The competition traditionally attracts entries from more than 100,000 children all over Ireland each year. This year entrants are being asked to write a piece of prose or a poem about their own family or copy a piece connected to family in some way.

Students are not being judged on content but the style, flair, neatness, and layout of their handwriting.

Entries are received in categories ranging from infants to sixth class, with a special education prize also being awarded. The closing date for entries is Friday February 24. For more information see www.ebs.ie
