The official said the best letter (English version only) will be sent to the UPU where a jury would select winners to be awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze medals bearing relevant inscription and their Names as well as albums of the official postage stamps.
The goal of the competition was to encourage children to exhibit their talent and to foster a passion to communicate their experiences" the official added.
Write a letter to your hero" was an inspirational theme of the 2019 International Letter-Writing Competition and its Primary goal was to advance global literacy and education among young people. It was closely bound to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals under Goal 4, which seeks to achieve an inclusive and equitable education for all. Every year, UPU announces a theme. Participating countries then organise the competition at the national level with support from their Posts, and often with the assistance of education authorities. Each country chooses a national winner and submits their entry to the global round held by UPU. An international jury, chosen by UPU, judges the letters and selects the winners and entries worthy of a special mention.
