Contest Information
The PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest invites children in grades K-3 to create stories using their own words and pictures, and recognizes their efforts with certificates and prizes. Parents, teachers, and librarians are encouraged to help children participate in the Contest.
Children in kindergarten through third grade will be encouraged to write and illustrate stories and submit them to KLRU TV, where we will select our local winners and award prizes. KLRU 1st place winners are entered into the national level of the Contest, where a renowned panel of judges select the national winners. Winners will be announced and national prizes will be awarded in summer 2013.

2013 Local Contest Winners
We had a wonderful celebration this past Saturday, April 27! We want to thank all the parents and children who participated and a special thanks to our sponsors.

We have sent off the 1st place winners from our local contest and hope for the best in the national arena. The first round of national judging happens at WNED on May 23rd, the next round is in D.C. on May 30th. PBS hopes to send out winner notifications to stations shortly after that, but the official announcement with the stories correctly placed on the national site will probably not be until the end of June.
