Reading Rainbow Contest Winners

Reading Rainbow Scrapbook

READING RAINBOW’s Young Writers & Illustrators Contest encourages young people all across the country to tell their stories in words and pictures,” said Dr. Twila C. Liggett, executive producer of the series.

Entries are judged in local contests, with the local winners advancing to the national competition. Each child who participates in the Contest receives a special Certificate of Achievement signed by READING RAINBOW’s host LeVar Burton.

Noted children’s book authors, illustrators, publishers, educators, and representatives from such organizations as the American Library Association and the National Council of Teachers of English make up the panel of national judges, who evaluate the entries and select the winners.

READING RAINBOW is a production of GPN/Nebraska ETV Network and WNED-TV Buffalo, NY. Funding is provided by the National Science Foundation, The Arthur Vining Davis Foundation and public television viewers. READING RAINBOW is a registered trademark of GPN/WNED-TV.
