Children’s writing contest takes submissions
FARGO – Prairie Public has launched its annual PBS KIDS Writers Contest to encourage children’s reading and writing skills through hands-on, active learning.
Children in kindergarten through fifth grade in the Prairie Public broadcast area are eligible to submit stories by the March 31 deadline. Each story entered will be evaluated by Prairie Public staff and a team of local teachers and librarians, with a first-place winner and three Red Ribbon favorites chosen for each grade level.
Every child who enters the contest will receive a Certificate of Achievement. First-place winners and Red Ribbon favorites will receive prizes, and their stories will be featured on the
Prairie Public website. First-place winners also will have the opportunity to read their stories on Prairie Public’s statewide radio network.
Teachers who help students submit stories will be entered to win a $100 gift card.
Entry instructions and complete rules are available online.
