KidPub Writing Contests

KidPub runs many writing contests each year. We try to mix it up a bit...some contests are for poetry, others for essays and stories, some are a combination. The winner of each contest gets to choose their prize, either a $50 Amazon.com Gift Card or publication of their own book by KidPub Press. Two runners-up each receive a $25 Amazon.com Gift Card.

Contests are open to all KidPub members. If you'd like to join KidPub and enter our contests (as well as have a lot of fun posting your own stories and comments), just visit our membership page to get started.
