VEGAS PBS ANNOUNCES<br />
ANNUAL PBS KIDS<br />
WRITERS CONTEST<br />
Southern Nevada Children in Grades K-5 Encouraged<br />
to Submit Original Stories<br />
(Las Vegas) – Vegas PBS is accepting original story<br />
submissions for the 2017 PBS KIDS Writers Contest,<br />
which is designed to promote the advancement<br />
of children’s literacy skills through hands-on,<br />
interactive learning.<br />
Submissions will be judged for originality, creative<br />
expression, storytelling technique, illustrations<br />
and overall impression. The top three winners in<br />
each grade level will be honored at a recognition<br />
ceremony at Vegas PBS in which the awardees will<br />
learn their placements. Prizes include a trophy,<br />
framed enlargements of their work and additional<br />
reading and writing resources, all sponsored by<br />
Janice Allen. First place winners will also receive a<br />
scholarship to attend the Southern Nevada Writing<br />
Project’s Summer Youth Writing Camp, a five-day<br />
program allowing students to enhance their talents<br />
and build their confidence as storytellers under the<br />
guidance of skilled educators who possess a passion<br />
for teaching writing.<br />
“One of the greatest benefits of the PBS KIDS Writers<br />
Contest is the creative freedom children are granted<br />
for their stories,” said Vegas PBS Ready To Learn<br />
Coordinator Jessica Russell. “It allows them to write<br />
about anything their imagination holds, giving us a<br />
glimpse into their inventive minds.”<br />
Stories are due Friday, April 7, 2017 by 5 p.m. All<br />
story entries must include a signed entry form by a<br />
parent/guardian. Stories can be mailed or delivered<br />
to Vegas PBS Ready To Learn, 3050 E. Flamingo<br />
Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89121.<br />
For more information or to view the rules and entry<br />
form, visit VegasPBS.org/writers-contest.<br />
