The regional competition is the part of the International competition of the children’s handwritten books which is held for the 12^th time already. Everybody who wishes – from pre-schools till students – may take part in the competition. Both individual and children’s collective works are welcome as well as family’s help. The competition’s aim is to find talented children and to develop their creativity. Children may compose poems and stories, may design their books beautifully and may try their strength in translating in English, Finnish and Norwegian languages. The competition usually starts in November and finishes in March. The competition is named «We live in the North» this year. We have taken part in the competition for the 3rd time.
