Each spring, the KET Young Writers Contest encourages children to submit stories for a statewide competition. There are two categories for students to choose: illustrated stories, grades K-5, and short stories, grades 4-5. All students receive a certificate for participation, and
the winners are recognized with backpacks filled with goodies.
The 2015 winning stories are published below.
