An Post Handwriting Competition

An Post and Kabin Crew: Making Better Happen Through Words

Ahead of this year's An Post Handwriting Competition, we're proud to share a special collaboration with Cork's Kabin Crew as part of our Making Better Happen campaign.

Together, we've created an original song celebrating the power of words, self-expression and literacy. The song and accompanying music video highlight the positive impact that reading, writing and finding your voice can have on young people and their communities.

At the heart of the campaign is a simple message: Your words have power. Use them.

The song will play a key role in this year's An Post Handwriting Competition, which opens on 5 October 2026. Schools, teachers, parents and students will be able to access competition details, entry information and classroom resources right here on the An Post website.

Watch the Kabin Crew's original song below and discover how words can inspire creativity, confidence and positive change.
 

It’s a powerful reminder that when young people are encouraged to express themselves, they can make a real difference in their own lives and in the world around them.

We look forward to welcoming schools from across Ireland to take part in this year's An Post Handwriting Competition.
