About the Story Contest
WQPT and its partners, Butterworth Center & Deere-Wiman House, the Family Museum and the Figge Art Museum, sponsored the Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest. The contest is built on the Reading Rainbow mission to encourage a child's love of books and reading.
We invited Kindergarten through Third grade students to enter the contest by sending us an original story. Local judges will selected 16 winners (4 from each class). Their stories will be displayed in the community during the summer months. The school and classroom of each winner received recognition and complimentary books. All participants will receive a Certificate of Recognition.
First place winners moved on to the national competition. There will be three national winners for each grade level who will compete for: Grand prize—Flat Panel TV with DVD Player; Second Place—Digital Camera; and Third place—MP3 Player. Each of these twelve winners also receives Reading Rainbow library sets of 5 DVD's and books for their home, school and library.
