So...Don't know if this is exactly my cup o' tea. I'm usually ALL OVER paying writing opportunities, contests or otherwise. But as much as I appreciate Children's Literature, I don't know that the 5-10 age range is within my natural audience. Nevertheless, I can at least pass it along. Here's the info.

National Library Service and Information System (BNLSIS) a story writing
