2009 Reading Rainbow Young Writers and Illustrators Contest is coming!
South Dakota Public Broadcasting will be accepting entries for Reading Rainbow’s
15th Annual Young Writers and Illustrators Contest starting January 5, 2009.
This contest is a unique and exciting opportunity for students in kindergarten
through third grade write and illustrate their own stories.
SDPB has sponsored the South Dakota division of the Young Writers and
Illustrators Contest since 1996. The contest encourages, challenges, and rewards
students 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.
All students who enter the contest will receive a Certificate of Achievement
featuring LeVar Burton of “Reading Rainbow”, and the first, second, and third
place winners from each grade will be presented with prize packages at an awards
celebration at the SDPB studio. Additionally, SDPB will use each winning story
in the “Dakota KidStories” program to be televised in Summer 2009.
If you’re interested in having your child or classroom of students enter this
year’s contest, click on the following links for the invitation letter, official
