Fargo – Prairie Public has launched the 2024 PBS Kids Writers Contest to encourage children’s reading and writing skills through hands-on, active learning.
Children in kindergarten through third grade in the Prairie Public broadcast area are eligible to submit stories, and the deadline is March 22, 2023. Each story entered will be evaluated by Prairie Public staff and a team of local teachers and librarians until a First-Place Winner and three Red Ribbon Favorites are 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 have their stories featured on the Prairie Public website, and First-Place Winners 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 Target gift card.
Entry forms and complete rules are available at prairiepublic.org.
