Calling all aspiring young authors! The annual WPBS KIDS  Writers Contest will open December 23, 2024 – Submissions will be accepted through February 14, 2025.  

The WPBS Writers Contest is a much-loved tradition at WPBS, and an unmatched opportunity for  budding young authors to express their creativity. The contest is open to students in Kindergarten, 1st,  2nd, and 3rd grades who live in the WPBS service region of Northern New York and Eastern Ontario.
