Seems like a good way for K-3rd kids to practice their writing skills AND maybe win a prize! J
From their site: (http://pbskids.org/writerscontest/contest.php)
PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest and who can enter?
The PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest is a national-local contest designed to promote the advancement of children’s reading skills through hands-on, active learning. 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 pieces.
When does it start and how do I sign up?
The Contest starts in January 2012. To download an entry form click here. To find out where to send your entry, choose your station here.
Can I see stories from other Contest years to get ideas?
Yes! You can see all stories from previous years, going back to 2001, by visiting Story Central. Take a look at the national winners and think about your own favorite stories. What do they have in common? What do you like most about them? We also created a Writers Guide to help, you can find that here.
