Following on from the success of local student Alana Sacarello winning silver in the Universal postal union competition last year, this year’s topic has been announced.

This year’s theme is: “Write a message to an adult about the world we live in”.

The Royal Gibraltar Post Office launched the UPU 49th International Letter-Writing Competition 2020 in conjunction with the Gibraltar Department of Education.

Almost one million children from 48 countries took part in last year’s competition.
