Letters for the soul: competition brings nostalgic writing fun back

at a time when smartphones and digital communication dominate, Pedro Jiménez Laux from Scheer launched an inspiring competition to promote the art of letterwriting. With the aim of strengthening personal connections, he would like to encourage people to put the pen on paper.

The review of past times

The motivation of Laux goes back to his own childhood when he grew up in a time without a phone. "My father wrote a letter to my grandmother in Spain every two weeks," he says. This tradition not only brought joy, but also a deeper emotional connection to the family. "She read the letter several times a day until the next came," explains Laux sentimental. It is such memories that drive him to put the letter letter back into the foreground.

A competition that includes all

The competition that Laux started is open to everyone. Anyone who sends a creative and original letter to the given address can participate. It is important that a special stamp with the motif of Michel from Lönneberga is attached to the envelope. "Every letter wins and I will write back to everyone," he promises what motivates the participants.

A step towards community

The initiative of Laux is not only a tribute to the past, but could also be an important step towards a stronger community. In a world in which digital communication is often perceived as impersonal, writing of letters offers an opportunity to authentically express thoughts and feelings. The community is invited to actively participate and help to revive the joy of letters.
