RobinAge Bright Sparks Awards - Creative Writing Contest for School Kids

The 8th edition of the RobinAge Bright Sparks Awards—a national initiative to encourage and support creativity in children is accepting entries now.

Like last year, the top three entries of each category and age group as well as three outstanding schools - as selected by a judging panel of premiere children's authors and artists - will win accolades, recognition and prizes.
