Poetry, prose, or non-fiction – any kind of illustrated story can be entered in the NHPBS KIDS WRITERS CONTEST!
This popular contest for children, sponsored by New Hampshire PBS, invites children in grades K – 5 to explore the power of creativity by writing and illustrating original stories.

A panel of local judges will select first, second and third place winners. All the stories submitted will be posted on the NHPBS KIDS WRITERS CONTEST website.
The NHPBS KIDS WRITERS CONTEST is part of the New Hampshire PBS commitment to promoting literacy and a love of reading, writing, and creative expression in children.
