Sports Illustrated for Kids and Stone Arch Books are teaming together for a great new contest for kids. Here's the scoop according to their website:
Developing a strong character is critical to any story’s success. Picture a character in your mind – what sport does he or she play? Think about all of the traits and characteristics that your character might have. Describe these to us by answering the questions in the entry form below. Your entry should make your sports star come to life! After all entries have been submitted, the contest judges will choose the top five entries. Sketches will be drawn for these five entries and posted to www.capstonekids.com. Kids will then be able to vote for the sketch of their favorite sports star.
The sports star from the winning entry/sketch will be featured in one of the upcoming Stone Arch Sports Illustrated Kids Graphic Novels.
For the official entry form and more details checkout their website at http://capstonekids.com/contests/sikids/
Grades 3-6
Accepting entries until March 1.
