Junior Author Contest 2020 WINNERS

Hello Parents, Teachers and Children!

We would like to thank all the children who have participated in our Junior Author Contest 2020. We greatly enjoyed reading all the children's innovative stories. It was truly very difficult to choose the winners among all our wonderful junior authors. We're so proud of all the children who have participated. We encourage every one of you to keep dreaming and keep writing!

Regarding the 10 winning stories, we chose 2-3 stories from different age groups. We wanted to give the younger authors a chance to express their imagination as well. It would not have been fair to compare a story of a 4 year old with that of a 10 year old. Each writing was judged based on creativity, passion, grammar and originality. The winning stories will now be compiled, illustrated by Karolyn Gubbine and published in a children's book. The winners will not be compensated but will be given full credit for their story. Each winner will receive a copy of the book mailed to them once it becomes available.

Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone who entered the Junior Author Contest 2020. This was a lot of fun and we cant wait for the next one. Stay tuned for Junior Author Contest 2021.

Regards,

Aqua Stars Publishing Team
