This competition aims to foster literacy and develop the skills of young writers. Participants can enter through their national postal services, and the top entries at the national level are then submitted to the UPU for the international competition.

Winners receive various awards, including medals and certificates, and their letters may be published by the UPU. The competition also promotes cultural exchange and understanding by sharing diverse perspectives through letters.
