Hi, Nivvi. Please read the post carefully, everything is mentioned in it.
I quite didn’t understand various mentioned things.
1- As it was mentioned “The participants have to give a certificate of their age on the letter such as I certify that I am below/above the age of 18 as of 01/01/2023”, How do we certify it? We will write it in the letter itself or provide another copy of the certificate in the envelope. If we write it in the letter, where to write it before starting the letter or after ending the letter?
2- How do I submit my letter for the competition? To the address (if)?
