Few
things capture a child’s
imagination like a good book
and creating stories can
encourage children to use
their imagination. East
Tennessee Public Television
teamed up with Reading
Rainbow, one of the most
beloved series in America’s
classrooms, to promote
children’s love of
literature and appetite for
learning by presenting the
local 14th Annual Young
Writers and Illustrators
Contest.
Entries for the contest were
accepted between February
1st and March 31st of 2008.
Over 250 schools throughout
East Tennessee were sent
information about the
contest for children in
kindergarten through third
grade. Nationally, 45,000
youngsters enter original
stories yearly to earn great
prizes. Local winners
received coupons and gift
certificates to area
businesses that were proud
recognize their effort.
East Tennessee Public
Television would like to
thank each student that
participated as well as
those parents and educators
that encouraged each child
to create their own story.
We would also like to thank
the judges that spent over
four hours during two rounds
of very difficult decisions
on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
winners.
