AUSTIN PBS WRITERS CONTEST 2023
We are back and excited to read new stories!
We’re looking for amazing stories written and illustrated by kids in Kindergarten to 5th grade!
The Austin PBS KIDS Writers Contest promotes children’s literacy and art through hands-on, active learning. Children in the Austin PBS viewing area can write and illustrate original stories, then submit them to Austin PBS. All entries are published on this website and the top stories from each grade level will be selected by independent judges. We will celebrate the winners and all the children who entered the contest on Saturday, May 6, 2023. The children will read their stories to their family and friends.
