A letter to my favourite fairytale character

The UPU's international letter-writing competition for young people dates back to 1969 when the Tokyo Congress voted to introduce a competition aimed at promoting letter writing among young people. The first competition was launched in 1971 and since then, millions of youngsters all over the world have participated in the competition at national and international level.

Each year, the UPU International Bureau chooses a theme, taking into consideration proposals received from Posts and individuals, as well as international commemorations and special events supported by the United Nations. The theme is communicated by circular letter to all postal administrations of the 190 UPU member countries.
