The name may have changed, but it’s still the same great contest! The PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest begins January 2010, and will carry on the tradition that began over 15 years ago with the READING RAINBOW Young Writers and Illustrators Contest.
Since the only thing better than reading a good story is writing one, WCVE PBS and WHTJ PBS are looking for your original stories. Open to kids in grades K-3, each entry must be an original work – written and illustrated by the entrant. Stories can be fact or fiction, prose or poetry – and each grade level will be judged separately. Because the goal of the contest is to encourage, challenge and reward effort, every child who submits an original story will be recognized for their participation with a Certificate of Appreciation.
Rules and entry forms will be available at ideastations.org/writerscontest by January 29, 2010.
Who knows? There could be a future Caldecott or Newbery award-winning author or illustrator in your home or school division!
Let us know…do you have a budding author at your house?
