Attention Young Writers!
KQED Education Network Announces Twelfth Annual Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest |
Popular Contest Seeks Young Bay Area Talent
San Francisco, February 16, 2006 -- Get ready to write! Early Learning, a department of the KQED Education Network (EdNet), is gearing up for the twelfth annual Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest. Children from kindergarten to third grade are encouraged to write and illustrate their own stories, and enter them into the popular local contest. The deadline for entries is April 26, 2006.
KQED has been participating in the contest since its inception in 1995. In 2005, Early Learning received 473 entries from all over the Bay Area. Once again, Early Learning extends an invitation to Bay Area children to use their imaginations and creativity and participate. Contest rules and entry forms are available at: www.kqed.org/ednet, or by calling the info line: 415-553-2453, or by emailing ReadingRainbow@kqed.org. You can also find past winners' stories at www.kqed.org/ednet.
Every child who participates in the contest will receive a special certificate of achievement signed by Reading Rainbow host, LeVar Burton. First, second, third place, and honorable mention winners will be picked from each grade level (K-3). Gifts and prizes will be presented at a special awards ceremony at the KQED studios.
The Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest is one of many opportunities provided by KQED Early Learning, which teaches parents and childcare professionals how to turn PBS programming into an interactive, educational tool.
The Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest is funded in part by PG&E.
