Categories

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.

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.
