Kelly Griffith is the Education Director for WVPB. “It’s an honor to highlight the talent of our young writers in West Virginia,” Griffith said. “This contest provides an opportunity to showcase their creativity, imagination and beautiful artwork. We are thrilled to continue our tradition of encouraging children to build literacy skills by supporting our local schools and teachers.”
First-place winners in Grades K-5 will be given the opportunity to record their stories, and one special winner will have his or her story animated by one of our talented television producers!
