The Paper Seahorse I Love Cursive Contest

The Paper Seahorse I Love Cursive Contest

american cursive handwriting

Celebrate the joys of handwriting by entering our I Love Cursive Contest. This penmanship event will be judged by qualified handwriting expert and Director of the American Cursive Instructor Certification Program, Marie Hornback. Our goal is to get more people writing and learning cursive, to slow down and enjoy a mindful and relaxing activity.

Your handwriting is unique to you and it is something you should love. Being proud of this beautiful art form is easy, it just takes practice. It makes you smarter and you can express yourself faster than printing. The physical act of long hand enables you to really think about what you are wanting to say and express yourself clearer.

This first annual contest is open to all ages. There are five categories you can submit in:

    • Grade School (Grades 3 - 5 or Grades 6 - 8)
    • High School / Adult
    • Special Needs (or additional needs) individuals who require assistance for disabilities that may be medical, mental, or psychological. Also referred to as SEN or SEND.

There will be one winner in each category, a runner up and honorable mention. They will be announced on January 23rd 2022, National Handwriting Day!

Each winner will receive a certificate and handwriting goodies to continue their journey. This contest open to participants in the United States and across the globe. Entries must be in English.

Start practicing and good luck!

I just came across your sight “The Paper Seahorse” I have always loved to write cursive, and over years have perfected the style I love. And so excited to find out, that there is actually such a thing! I am looking forward to this!

Pauline M Sanders

Are decorations on the paper allowed? Do you want just plain cursive rather than calligraphy? I love this idea!

Judy S Crawford

What type paper is qualified? Does it need to be lined? Can we use Lindsey’s guideline paper? Is any choice of writing instrument allowed?

Judy S Crawford

This contest is also for Indian people?
