MISSION
STATEMENT
It shall be the purpose of
Handwriting For
Humanity to foster the study and use of hand-written communications.
The organization shall carry
out this
purpose through activities such as:
- The promotion of
handwriting and its
instruction in educational institutions, as well as for personal home
study. - Making handwriting
instruction and
materials available to all children regardless of cultural and
financial barriers. - Sponsoring an annual
handwriting
competition. - Recognizing individual and
corporate
efforts in the promotion of handwriting and its instruction.
Tracking technical trends in the development of handwriting, and its
instruction and materials.
CREED:
HANDWRITING: that action of emotion, of
thought, and of decision
that has recorded the history of mankind, revealed the genius of
invention, and disclosed the inmost depths of the soulful heart. It
gives ideas tangible form through letters, pictographs, symbols, and
signs. Handwriting forges a bond across millennia and generations that
not only ties us to the thoughts and deeds of our forebears, but also
serves as an irrevocable link to our humanity. Neither machines nor
technology can replace or equal the contribution or continuing
importance of this inexpensive portable skill. Necessary in every age,
handwriting remains just as vital to the enduring saga of civilization
as our next breath.

To those interested in
handwriting - Welcome!
We would
like to invite you to
enter
WHC: the World Handwriting Contest
formerly the
AAHC: Annual American HandwritingCompetition and
WHAC: World Handwriting Achievement Contest
AAHC: Annual American HandwritingCompetition and
WHAC: World Handwriting Achievement Contest
WHC (formerly
AAHC and WHAC) grew out of the
Nebraska Handwriting Contest founded in 1991 by Tom Hutson in memory of
his late mother, Eva Margaret (Nielsen) Hutson, 1902-84, whose
handwriting remained at an award-winning high level throughout her
life. The Nebraska Contest still continues for Nebraskans, and gives credit to Mrs. Hutson every
year, at the
Nebraska Handwriting Contest Page of the University of Nebraska at
Kearney. But ...
Not
satisfied with a Nebraska-only
(or even a USA-only) contest as a tribute to his mother, Tom Hutson set
himself a larger goal: to establish a truly international contest by
2002 -- the 100th anniversary of her birth (and also the 480th
anniversary of the first textbook on penmanship published in our
alphabet)
In 2001, we attained this goal a year ahead of schedule. Each year
thereafter, we have done more, and we plan even
greater doings for the future. BECOME PART OF THIS: Share the
following information on our handwritingcontest with
any other person(s) or organization(s)
you
would
like
to
interest
in
this
contest
and/or
in
penmanship
generally.
We would
particularly enjoy hearing
from:
- those
interested in helping to sponsor/support this handwriting contest
- those
persons/organizations who run handwriting contests of their own, and
who would like to arrange for future projects involving their
handwriting-contest winners along with WHAC winners.
We wish you Good
Luck
...
... and Happy
Writing!

WHEN DOES
THE CONTEST BEGIN AND
END?
The World
HandwritingContest accepts
entries each year from January 1 until June 30. To qualify for prizes
in a given year, an entry must arrive on or before June 30 of that
year.
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 this 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
here for a full year (until after the judging of the next year's contest),
after
which
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) or electronic submissions.
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, of
any age, may enter the World
Handwriting Contest. (Due
to numerous requests, for 2007 we have
decided to open the contest to all age groups.) 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 (age 65 and over)
(PLEASE NOTE that the term
"Children"
now designates entrants age 7 and under. To establish a contest
division for the youngest entrants, for 2007 and subsequent years we
have re-named the division for ages 8 through 12 the "Pre-Teen" group
instead of "Children" as in 2006 and previous years.)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 half of its letters.
- CURSIVE - joins 50% or more
- ARTISTIC HANDWRITING -which 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.
PLEASE NOTE: the judges - not the
contest entrants - determine the category and subcategory in
which
each entry belongs.
FREQUENCY OF ENTRIES:
To keep the contest open
to
the greatest possible number of entrants and winners, please submit
only ONE (1) entry each year that you enter the contest.SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR PAST
WINNERS:Past winners of the
Contest
may enter. However, to keep the contest continually open to aspiring
handwriters, the management of the World Handwriting Contest must ask
any entrant who has already won three first prizes in the Contest to refrain from entering future World Handwriting Contests.In the event that anyone
does
receive three first prizes in the World Handwriting Contest, we will
regard this individual as a "Lifetime Winner" and will enter his or her
name permanently on this web-page, in a special "Lifetime Winners"
area.In 2006, the World
Handwriting Contest found its first Lifetime Winners. WILL YOU BECOME
OUR NEXT LIFETIME WINNER?-
- WHAT
MUST I DO?
Click here to
see the two
copy-quotes for this contest.
- Contestants
aged 8 through
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
out
the
entire
quote.)
Contestants
aged 13 and over
should write out the second (longer) copy-quote.
Write out and
submit the
complete text of the quote selected for your age group. Please do not write additional material within your entry.
Use either lined
or unlined
paper, 8 1/2 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.
On the backside of your
entry (not on the front), write in English your full name, your
full address, your age on July 1 of the year in which you enter, your
phone number, and your e-mail address (if any). Please do not use a separate piece of
paper for
this information, and please do not write this information
on
the front of the entry. The back of each entry must contain
that entry's own identifying information.)
Students: Please
give the school's
name and address (phone number and e-mail address if available) along
with your own name and address, your
school
to
receive
notification
of your winning. All
personal
information will remain confidential. The World Handwriting Contest
will use student information only to notify winners and, in an
aggregate manner, for research purposes.
You do not have to
send your
first attempt; in fact, we expect that you will not send your first
attempt. Remember that the allotted time runs from January 1st through
June 30th, so take all the time you need to practice and send your best effort.DO NOT cross out
or make
erasures. Do NOT send "rough drafts." If you make a mistake, start
over: do NOT erase, cross out, "white out," or cover up your errors.
Visible erasures/cross-outs/cover-ups/"whiting out" will count more
heavily against your work than the original errors themselves.
Contest judges will evaluate entries based on each entry's demonstrated
LEGIBILITY (how easily we can read the writing),
FLUENCY (the smoothness, grace, and flow of the
writing),
and
COMPETENCE (choice of layout and margins; spacing
between letters,
words, and lines; consistency of letter size and forms; accuracy of the
quote; neatness and general appearance; spelling; and whether the
entrant strove to follow the letter and spirit of the Contest rules).
All entries become the property
of the Contest.
The
World
Handwriting
Contest
will
not return submitted entries.
WHEN
MUST I ENTER?
Mail
or
hand-deliver your entries (to the "Handwriting for Humanity/World
Handwriting Contest" address below) in time to arrive on or before June
30th.
(Please note: until the first day of
judging (July 1st), all
material marked "World Handwriting Contest" or "Handwriting For
Humanity" will remain unopened. If you have general inquiries about the
contest and need a response before the judging begins, do not put the words
"Handwriting for Humanity/World Handwriting Contest" onto the envelope.)
Do NOT mail your
entries before
January 1. We cannot accept entries with postmark-dates from
the previous year.

WHC evaluates
handwriting quality on these factors:
- legibility
-
ease of reading
(unambiguous letters,
clear
spacing of words/lines, etc.),
- fluency
-
ease
of writing
(smooth, unlabored
formation,
or "flow"),
- general
competence
(even rhythm and spacing, good layout, etc.)
World
Handwriting Contest winners for future years probably will write this
well or better, too.
However, these handwritings (below)
do not come up to the
expected level of quality.
Writings like
these do not tend to do well in
the World
Handwriting Contest.
- WHC does not
require or prefer 100% joining, use of loops on
letter-stems, particular
letter-formations for capitals, etc. in its cursive handwriting entries.
- WHC does not
require or prefer a particular size or slant of writing,
or a particular type
or shape of stroke.
Generally,
WHC does not
require or
prefer handwriting
to adhere to this or that specific style of writing. An entry that
follows a given handwriting-method does not receive "extra
credit" from WHAC over
an
equally
high-quality
entry
which
shows
a
"mixed"
influence,
and/or
which
otherwise
departs
from
one or more particulars of a taught system
of penmanship.
Happy
writing!
The judges may disallow any entrie whose quality dose not meet
the quality standards for winning a prize enven if there are no other
entries that Divcision.

prizes:
PRIZES
to be awarded
solely on the recommendation of the judges and
directors of WHC.
WHC will
distribute its prizes for this year's Contest
before the conclusion of the current calendar year. (Distribution of
prizes may begin as late as mid-October). Additionally, the management
of the WHC has already begun arranging to obtain prizes and sponsorship
for the next year's Contest. (Want to help? Let us know!)
- the number of contestants
- the amount of financial
and
in-kind support provided by sponsors and other contributors to WHC.
Each winning entrant
will receive at least one prize.
WHC
will
award
at least two prizes in each of its age-divisions (a
first prize and
a second prize).
For
the current year, each winner will receive a caligraphed cerificate.
What
does
WHC's
future hold?
/1/ First and foremost, for
2007 and future years writers of ALL ages may enter the contest. Our
previous limitation of entry to those aged 8 and above came from a
concern among some judges that younger entrants might lack the skill or
the desire to compete against others. However, we have learned better:
thanks to numerous requests from parents, teachers, entrants, and (most
of all) from those aged 7 and under who wished to enter but who could
not enter under the old rules. For 2007 and thereafter, we have
therefore established a "Children" group for these youngest entrants.
Accordingly, we have re-named the previous "Children" group (entrants 8
through 12) the "Pre-Teen" group for 2007 and future years.
/2/ As always, in the
current
year and future years we plan to continue encouraging the
ever-increasing participation in this worldwide contest, through media
outreach and other means. This will depend on support from our sponsors
(and any other interested individuals) in the coming year and future
years.
/2/
In addition, we plan
to
continue expanding our top-level "World
Champ-PEN-Ship" round of
inter-contest competition, which provides WHC
first-prize winners with the opportunity to test their skills against
the first-prize winners of other handwriting contests (such as the PEN WORLD Handwriting Contest in
years when this operates separately from the WHC, the Handwriting
Contest of the Society
for
Italic
Handwriting, and other contests which come to our
attention and which would like to participate) for the ultimate prize
of "World
PEN-Champ.") In previous
years, participating contests have
included the HandwritingContest of PEN
WORLD
INTERNATIONAL magazine, the Handwriting Contest of the Society for Italic
Handwriting, the Young Innovators' Club Handwriting Contest
established by Indian
businesswoman Maya Balani, and the CHAMBER Handwriting Contest established
by
Akron, Ohio community leader Jane
A.
Polk. We hope
to
continue adding more international, national, and local/regional
contests each year to our World Champ-PEN-Ship roster.
CONTESTS
CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN THE WORLD
HANDWRITING CONTEST'S
WORLD CHAMP-PEN-SHIP ROUND:
/1/ the World
Handwriting
Contest itself
We believe that
top-flight
competition among established prize-winners in penmanship greatly
encourages public interest in handwriting.
If you - or some
person/organization you know - runs or promotes a handwriting contest
of any sort (local, state-level, regional, national, or other), we
would like to work along with you to create future top-level
prize/publicity/other opportunities for your penmanship champions and
ours.
We would take particular
interest in working along with handwriting contests run by:
- publishers of
handwriting
materials,
- schools or
school-systems
(local, state-level, regional, or national),
- and/or calligraphy
guilds

PLANS FOR
THE FUTURE
/2/
WHC's future plans also
include conducting handwriting -surveys and other
data-collection/research/publication to document the current state of
handwriting in the USA and other nations, and to make the public aware
of the state of our handwriting.
Using handwriting-contest
entries and other data on the state of handwriting worldwide, over the
coming years WHC hopes to provide the public with listings of which
nations/regions/cities show the most (and the least) legible
handwriting.
(As opportunity offers,
WHC
may also conduct surveys/data-collection regarding other aspects of
handwriting.)
Implementing these plans
will depend on available funding, sponsorship, and public interest.
Once WHC can implement these plans, we will post results to this site
as they become available.
