The theme for the 2006 International LetterWriting Competition was "I am writing to tell you how the postal service helps me connect to the world". Hind's letter was selected from over 800 entries from different UAE schools. The national level competition was organised by Emirates Post in association with the Ministry of Education and the Emirates Writers Union.
Hind's letter was chosen from a shortlist of 12 entries. Students who figured in the Arabic shortlist were Razan Al Tureafi, Umm Al Momineen High School, Fujairah; Shahad Khalaf Mohammed, Al Gibeabah School, Sharjah; Ahmed Ali Al Shaer, Abdullah bin Nassir School, Khorfakkan; Muna Saleh Hashem, Asia bint Muzahem School, Khorfakkan; Saqer Ahmed Al Hamadi, Al Samha School, Abu Dhabi; Mohammed Khalid Al Huriya, Al Ajban School, Abu Dhabi; Shaima Gareeb Al Ebaidly, Noora bint Sultan High School, Ras Al Khaimah, and Metha Khalfan Al Shawe, Bin Al Shate School, Umm Al Quwain.
In the English category, the shortlist included Ayesha Mohammed Sharaf, Dubai National School, Dubai; Ala Fared, Al Maali International Private School, Abu Dhabi, and Natasha Tomas, Indian School, Al Ain.
The entries were judged by a jury comprising Asma Al Zarouni from Emirates Writers' Union, Atef Anwar and Abd Al Maeen from the Ministry of Education and Hind Al Jabri and Khalid Audah from Emirates Post.
The annual UPU letterwriting competition is open to participants under 15 years of age. Each country enters one letter for the final round, after conducting its own competition at the national level. The UPU, in association with a Unesco jury, will select three winners next month.
