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.
