VEGAS PBS KIDS WRITERS CONTEST PRESENTED BY JANICE ALLEN
The VEGAS PBS KIDS Writers Contest is designed to promote the advancement of children’s literacy skills through hands-on, active learning. The contest— made possible by local financial support from Janice Allen—empowers children in grades K-5 to celebrate creativity and build literacy skills by writing and illustrating their very own stories.
How the Contest Works
Children in Southern Nevada can now submit their entries to the VEGAS PBS KIDS Writers Contest by Friday, March 27, 2020 at 5 p.m. All entries must be accompanied by an official entry form signed by a parent/guardian.
Stories can be mailed or hand delivered to Vegas PBS at:
3050 E. Flamingo Road
Las Vegas, NV 89121
A panel of judges will select local winners in the spring of 2020. All local winners will be recognized at an awards ceremony at Vegas PBS where they will receive trophies, a hardcover version of their story, autographed books, and a custom backpack filled with additional reading and writing resources.
