AUSTIN PBS WRITERS CONTEST 2023
We have received over 400 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 were selected by independent judges.
