Why should I enter? 
Each day, PBS invites children to discover books, reading and the love of learning.  The PBS Kids Go Writers Contest extends this mission by encouraging and challenging children from kindergarten through third grade to share their stories by creating their own picture books.  Above all, the contest is meant to be FUN – and a chance for children to be recognized for their creative efforts.
