2012 International letter-writing competition for young people

The theme is: "Write a letter to an athlete or sports figure you admire to explain what the Olympic Games mean to you".

Olympic Movement

The Olympic Movement seeks to create a better world through sports, by promoting the universal values of excellence, friendship and respect. With these values in mind, young letter-writers are invited to express their thoughts on what the Olympic Games, which are being organized in 2012, mean to them.

The best letter from each country must be submitted no later than 30 April 2012, and all member countries are urged to respect this deadline. Only one entry per member country can be accepted. All submissions become the property of the UPU.
