An essay competition for local students, private and public, has been launched by the Bermuda Post Office.

The topic for the creative writing contest is “how to make the Post Office more relevant to young people”, Postmaster General Wayne Smith said.

The deadline for entries falls before the start of the Easter midterm break, 2014, with the winners to be announced in April of next year.

Prizes will be provided by The Royal Gazette, Bermuda Broadcasting Company, CellOne Bermuda, Digicel Bermuda and The Complete Office.
