Celebrating the creativity and imagination of young writers across Northern Nevada.
We’re proud to celebrate the incredible creativity of our young authors from across Northern and Central Nevada. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s PBS Reno Writers Contest! Your stories inspired us with imagination, heart, and originality. A special round of applause to our winners! Your work truly stood out! Keep writing, dreaming, and sharing your voice with the world.
The PBS Reno Writers Contest is a local contest designed to promote the advancement of children’s literacy skills through hands-on, active learning. The Writers Contest encourages children in grades K-3 to celebrate the power of creating stories and illustrations by submitting their own original pieces. Each year, thousands of northern Nevada children participate in the PBS Reno Writers Contest, building their creative voices, and developing critical reading and writing skills.
