The VEGAS PBS KIDS Writers Contest Presented by Janice Allen is designed to promote the advancement of children’s literacy skills through hands-on, active learning. The contest— made possible by local financial support from Janice Allen—empowers children in grades K-5 to celebrate creativity and build literacy skills by writing and illustrating their very own stories.

A panel of judges selected our 2024 winners. All winners receive a fantastic prize pack, including a hardcover version of their story, autographed books, and a custom backpack filled with additional reading and writing resources.
