Useful tips
Use white craft paper or white multipurpose paper, no
smaller than 8 ½” X 11” but no larger than 9” X 12”. Avoid
the use of notebook paper.
Write legibly (or type) so others enjoy reading your story!
Create pictures that are big, colorful and clear!
Avoid binding stories; instead, staple story at the upper left
corner. There is no need for folders, plastic binding, sheet
protectors and the like.
Entry form should be placed on top of each story, but do
not glue, paste or bind in any manner the entry form to the
story (paper clips OK). Entry forms will be separated from
the story during the judging process.
Seek help from parents, teacher or big brothers and
sisters! But, remember that the child is the author and
illustrator who imagines the overall concept, text and design
for his story.
For parents, remember that your signature on the entry
form confirms the originality of your child’s story and art
and grants permission to use the entry for promotional
purposes.
