| Scholastic: Kids are Authors Contest |
| Creative Writing |
Kids Are Authors is an annual competition open to Grades K–8 and is designed to encourage students to use their reading, writing, and artistic skills to create their own books.
Under the guidance of a project coordinator, children work in teams of three or more students to write and illustrate their own book. The creative process of working in teams helps provide a natural environment to practice editing, teamwork, and the communication skills necessary for future success. All students involved get a sense of pride and accomplishment from submitting the team project.
Scholastic Book Fairs will publish the winning books and distribute them at Book Fairs throughout the country.
Teams of three or more students write and illustrate their own fiction or nonfiction book. Scholastic will publish the winning books and distribute them at Book Fairs throughout the country.
Winning school (or homeschool) receives prizes --- from $200 to $2000 in merchandise from Scholastic.
