What’s Your Story?

Looking for a way to inspire your littlest learner to pick up a pen and write? Rather than nag and beg, challenge your kid to a writing contest! —

Scribble Press is excited to announce the Faber-Castell Scribble Your Story contest! Every month through August 2012, one creative kid will win a Faber-Castell Deluxe Art Kit and other
Faber-Castell premium children’s art products totaling $100.

The winning book will be displayed in all three Scribble
Press studios, and an eBook version will be made available online for fans to
read.

Check out these three ways to enter:

1. Visit any Scribble
Press studio and make a book.

2. Order the Scribble
Press Author’s Tool Kit and a set of Faber-Castell
Markers to create your story at home. Then mail it to any Scribble Press studio, including your email address with the book.

3. Make a story at home with your own paper and Faber-Castell
markers (no purchase necessary) and either scan it in and send it to info@scribblepress.com or mail it to
any Scribble Press studio, including your email address.

Books will be judged on the three Cs: creativity,
colorfulness and captivation. Winners will be chosen each month by a favorite
children’s author.
