PBS is sponsoring a writting contest. This is for middle level grades -6,7 and 8th. It is a short story contest for young authors. Stories must be submitted by Oct. 10th 2008. Stories will be judged on creativity, originality and storytelling. The story must be a minimun of 700 words with a max being 1,000. Test must be Times New Roman 12 pt, double spaced. You can count words like a, an and the in the count.There will be prizes to the top three winners in each grade level.
I love this idea. It's a neat way to get kids to write and have new experiences with their stories instead of the same stuff like showing mom and dad and perhaps grandma and grandpa. It makes the story bigger. I have at least one story teller in my house that I know can write a good story.
