Children’s creativity is beyond our imagination. Their creative words and drawings always can bring us to a fantastic world. That’s the reason why PBS SoCaL is looking for your child’s original stories! 2013 PBS KIDS GO! Writer’s Contest is a great opportunity for your kids to show their creativity.
The goal of the contest is to encourage, challenge and reward effort, so every child who submits an original story will be recognized for their participation with a Certificate of Appreciation. Also, the students who are on the lists of the top three places have chance to get valuable prizes. Don’t be hesitated to share your original ideas with PBS! Kids Go~!
