Help create a book wriiten BY kids FOR kids!

Each year Environmental Concern sponsors the national Write On! Wetlands Challenge – a literary and arts competition that challenges youth to write and illustrate a children’s book about wetlands. Environmental Concern publishes the new book in May, to celebrate American Wetlands Month.

The competition begins in February with the Writer's Challenge. Children across the country are invited to try their hand at writing a story on a specified topic focusing on wetlands.

The Illustrator's Challenge begins in April when children are invited to illustrate a page of the story. Illustrations are chosen from among the entries and the winning words and art are combined to create a book whose quality, emotion and enthusiasm is truly inspiring. Children love these books. Not only do they foster an appreciation for wetlands, they also empower all who read them or have them read to them to create.
