THE FUN!
PBS KIDS GO! is kicking off the new year with its annual PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest, a national initiative designed to promote the advancement of children’s reading skills through hands-on, active learning. Partnering with PBS stations nationwide, the Contest encourages children in grades K-3 in communities across the country to celebrate the power of creating stories and illustrations by submitting their own original work.

HOW
THE CONTEST WORKS
The
Contest is
structured the same as the Reading
Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest
of past years.
Children in grades kindergarten through third are encouraged to write and illustrate stories and submit them to their local stations, which will select winners and award prizes. These winners will then be entered into the national level of the Contest where a panel of judges will select the national winners. National winners will be announced and prizes, including tablets, e-readers and MP3 players will be awarded during summer 2012. |

Enter the contest digitally |
For the first time, stories can be digitally submitted to the Contest through a tool developed by new sponsor, StudentPublishing.com. The new digital publishing tool will also allow parents to purchase bound copies of their child’s entry as a keepsake for years to come. As in years past, winning entries in each of the Contest categories will be featured on the site, www.pbskids.org/writerscontest, and visitors to the Contest site will continue to have the opportunity to create “Story Mashups” with winning stories. |
