2012 HoustonPBS PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest Winners Announced!

Thanks to all of the talented Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade authors that participated in this year’s contest. We had over 400 entries! Your stories were wonderfully creative and beautifully illustrated. The judges were very impressed with all of the entries and we consider everyone “a winner” for taking the time to write and illustrate their very own masterpiece. Information for the 2013 contest will be on the HoustonPBS website January 2013 with a entry deadline of mid-March. Remember to keep writing and illustrating!
