There are two totally cool Letter Link competitions running and there are two ways of winning prizes - isn't that amazing?!

The first opportunity to win gives you automatic entry as soon as your teacher orders Letter Link envelopes for your school! Why not let your teachers know about this one? (Terms and Conditions of entry are in the For Teachers section.)

Just imagine; your school will then be in the running to win a visit from an Olympic athlete, simply by ordering a supply of Letter Link envelopes.

The second opportunity to win involves the Letter Link letters that you write to Australian athletes. The letter judged to be the most entertaining and well-written will win!
 

All schools that order the Letter Link envelopes will be eligible to enter the competition.

There is one national prize, as well as a prize for each state and territory. The national prize includes a visit to the winner's school by an Olympic athlete and a $5,000 cash prize. There will also be a prize awarded in each state and territory of $2,000 cash.

This is where you come in. A special prize will also be awarded to the letter judged to be the most entertaining and well-written.

This prize includes a visit by an Olympic athlete to the winner's school during National Literacy and Numeracy Week (1-7th September), as well as a $2,000 cash prize for the school and a $500 prize for the student who wrote the letter.

So what are you waiting for? Use the 'Letter Writing Interactive' to write your letter or get out your pen and paper and start writing.

Why not let your teacher know about the Letter Link competition so that your whole class can write letters to Australian Athletes?

You can be assured that the Australian athletes will be thrilled to receive your letters of support and encouragement. Happy writing!
