Thanks for your interest. This contest for kids was launched just this year, and we were excited about the responses, so do plan to offer this contest next year too. It was started in April and ran through June. It will be announced on our website, in the library paper newsletters and we notify local schools as well. We look forward to reading your kids' stories!
