It's time to sharpen those pencils! GPB invites Georgia students in kindergarten through third grade to create a great story, illustrate it, and enter it in our
PBS KIDS Writers Contest.
Stories can be fact or fiction, poetry or prose, and will be judged on originality, creative expression, storytelling, and integration of illustrations. A first, second, and third place will be chosen from each grade level. Additionally, four stories (one from each grade level) will be selected for the STEAM Award if their story effectively incorporates science, technology, engineering, arts, and/or mathematics.

Each week during the session, Stephen answers questions you may have about what goes on at the Georgia Capitol, like "Who's in charge of taxpayer money?" or "What's all the fuss surrounding Georgia's voting machines?"
