Presented by the Committee for Left-Handed Summers

1. Left-handed Summer will officially begin on Friday, May 25, 2007 at 10:45 a.m. in the Keys Hall First Floor Conference Room and end on Friday, September 7, 2007 at 10:45 a.m. in the Keys Hall First Floor Conference Room.

4. On Friday, May 25, 2007 at 10:45 a.m., all entrants will write, in one minute or less, the sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” on a plain sheet of 8.5”x11” paper. The sentence must be written with that person’s non-dominant hand. (For the purposes of these rules and regulations, we will assume this is the person’s left hand.)

5. The entries will be numbered, to prevent identification of the writer of each sentence by the judging panel.

7. On Friday, September 7, 2007, at 10:45 a.m., the envelope will be unsealed, and participants will write the same sentence again, directly under the May 25 sentence, again with the non-dominant hand.

8. Entries will be judged by a 3-person neutral party panel. Judges are looking for improvement and overall good penmanship. The winner will be announced Friday, September 14 at 11:45 a.m. in the Keys Hall First Floor Conference Room.

9. Any entrant may withdraw at any time between May 25 and September 7, however, once final entries are submitted, entrants may not withdraw.
