2004 Contest Information (PDF)
South Dakota Public Broadcasting and Reading Rainbow have sponsored the Young Writers and Illustrators Contest since 1996. The contest encourages, challenges, and rewards students – kindergarten through third grade – to tell their own stories in their own words and with their own pictures. Contest judges are teachers, writers, artists, librarians, and others who know writing and illustrating.
SD Public TV produced a "Dakota Kid Stories" program featuring the twelve state winners reading their stories! Watch these programs (2 half hour segments from each year) using "Real - Player"
