2008 SDPB Contest Honors Young Writers, Illustrators

South Dakota Public Broadcasting sponsored the Reading Rainbow’s 14th Annual Young Writers and Illustrators Contest in 2008.
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 received a Certificate of Achievement from “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 2008.
