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 the website and our social
media by October. Winners’ names & handwriting samples are displayed on the website for a full
year.
