Writers Contest. The local contest, sponsored by the Wisconsin Media Lab and Wisconsin Public Television (WPT), gives youngsters an opportunity to expand their creative skills in the areas of storytelling, writing and drawing. Prizes are awarded in each grade level for achievement in writing and illustration, and all local first-place winners will be sent to the national competition. Every child who submits a story for judging will receive a certificate of participation. Local winners will be honored at an awards ceremony in May. Winners will be notified two weeks before the awards ceremony. Contest rules and applications are available at wpt.org/kids or by phoning 608-890-2931. All entries must be received by Monday, March 25. WPT is a service of the Educational Communications Board and University of Wisconsin-Extension.
