WQED announces kids writers contest
WQED announced its annual PBS KIDS Writers Contest, which empowers children in grades K-5 to celebrate creativity and build literacy skills by writing and illustrating their very own stories.
Jan. 3 through March 31, children can submit their entries to the contest at www.writeonkids.org. WQED will select local winners and award prizes, including the opportunity to record their winning story, and kids and families will be invited to a Winners Celebration at the WQED studio. All finalists, past and present, are broadcast on iQKidsRadio.org. This year’s winners will be broadcast on Saturday Light Brigade (SLB) Radio in 2018.
Story ideas, activity sheets and previous winning entries are available on the contest website to inspire children during the brainstorming process.
