Scholastic Book Fairs is sponsoring a “Kids Are Authors” contest. This is an annual competition open to students in Grades K–8. The contest is designed to encourage students to use their reading, writing, and artistic skills to create their own books. Students are guided by their teacher and work in teams of three or more students to write and illustrate their own book. Entries must fall into one of the following categories: Fiction, Nonfiction, or “Going Green. ” The creative process of working in teams helps provide a natural environment for students to practice editing and teamwork. There will be three Grand Prize Winners (one for each category). Scholastic Book Fairs will publish the winning books and distribute them at Book Fairs throughout the country.
