As you know, for many years I've directed the World Handwriting
Contest (for which PEN WORLD INTERNATIONAL magazine provided and
shipped prizes, and also briefly announced the Contest in the magazine
once or twice a year).
PEN WORLD CEO Glen Bowen has now informed me that PEN WORLD has
canceled support for the World Handwriting Contest because of a change
in PEN WORLD's corporate direction. Without this support (a means to
provide and ship prizes), the Contest cannot continue.
To keep the Contest going, I need to find — FAST! — one or more
handwriting-devoted persons or organizations to provide and ship out
prizes. I assume all other burdens and duties (publicity,
organization, convening and supervising the judges, etc.).
If you don't want the world of pen- and handwriting-lovers standing by
while the World Handwriting Contest closes forever, please contact me
ASAP via e-mail at handwritingrepair@xxxxxxxxx (or telephone
518-482-6763).
