Are you confused about how to write a notice? If yes, and searching the notice writing format then don’t worry because you’ve landed at the right place. In this blog post, I will share the complete format of notice writing which is valid for all classes/grade students. However, the word limit for notice writing remains the same with the increase in class.
What is Notice Writing?
Notice writing consists of 50 to 60 words of information/message highlighting details about something that has happened or is about to happen as an event, lost or found something, celebration, competition, or any information that is intended to reach the public. It is written to signify a large number of people or a group of people.
Notices are written in simple language and generally, notices are put up in public places, educational institutions, government offices, and newspapers. Any notice in schools and colleges is displayed on the notice board of the Institution. The information contained in the notice is concise and accurate.
Notice Writing Format
- Notice is always written inside a box.
- First, write the name of the organization or agency in the top header.
- then write “NOTICE” in the capital letter on the second line.
- after that write the date.
- Write the title/heading/subject of the concerned declaration in the fourth line.
- After that write the body of the notice in 50 to 60 words.
- It should contain all the details which can help fulfil its purpose such as the date, time and venue, along with any other information that may be considered necessary.
- Write your name, signature and designation at the end.
A practical version of the same theoretical notice writing is as follows:
Name of the Institution/Organisation/Authority
NOTICE
Date:- DD/MM/YYYY
Subject/Topics of the Notice
Body of the Notice in 50 to 60 words. Provide all the necessary details.
Signature
Name and Designation
Notice Writing Guidelines
- Always write the notice inside a rectangular box.
- The notice must be written within 60 words.
- The name of the institution/authority should be written at the top.
- Always write NOTICE words that are clearly visible.
- The issuing date should be mentioned.
- Take care not to write useless things in the notice.
- The notice should be simple and easy to read.
- Always write the subject that is suitable for the notice before the content.
- Try not to repeat any words.
- The body content should have all the necessary details regarding the notice.
- If the notice is about an event then all the details of the event should be there like timing, location, etc.
- Only those points should be mentioned which are important with respect to the event or clause.
- If the notice is about any sporting event, give contact information about the person concerned and the eligibility criteria for the participants.
- A well-written notice must address the 5 Ws: what, when, where, whom, and who.
- Avoid using personal pronouns like I, you, I, etc.
- Do not mention your personal details if not required.
- Just write the name and designation.
- Last, review the notice for any grammatical and spelling mistakes.
