DESCRIPTION:Let’s spark creativity and a love of storytelling in every c
 hild!2026 Theme: WRITE ON!WQED is thrilled to announce the 2026 Writers Co
 ntest, running from January 5 through March 31, 2026. For 17 years, this b
 eloved program has encouraged children across our region to strengthen th
 eir literacy skills, express their creativity, and share their unique voic
 es. This year, the contest is expanding to include students in grades K–
 5—now welcoming 4th and 5th graders for the first time.There’s no requ
 ired theme, giving young authors the freedom to let their imaginations soa
 r and craft any original story they dream up. All participants are invited
  to both write and illustrate their stories, and WQED will return all subm
 issions at our expense.More than 16,000 local students have taken part in 
 this fun and educational experience over the years. We hope you’ll help 
 inspire the next generation of storytellers—whether by encouraging a you
 ng writer at home or incorporating the contest into classroom activities. 
 We can’t wait to read the stories they create!WQED has also provided sna
 cks and all the materials needed to help students create a strong entry fo
 r the contest.Kids will get a creative break to decorate a rubber duck as 
 a fun motivational activity.
