It’s back!! The Milwaukee PBS KIDS Writers Contest 2023 is back after being on pause during the pandemic. This year we celebrate the 27th contest and look forward to seeing this year’s entries come in.
Unforgettable characters, exciting plots, and expressive illustrations make the difference between a good story and a great one. The PBS KIDS Writers Contest offers children in kindergarten through third grade and opportunity to build critical literacy and art skills by
creating their own stories.
