Summertime Great American
Story Contest
The Olympic Edition

Last year PNN.com, in collaboration with the Lights On Afterschool! organization gave away free music editing software to groups who shared their Lights On Afterschool experiences on PNN. At least a hundred schools used PNN to share their stories and keep in touch.

Now, while we're waiting for the next national Lights On event, we thought we'd find a great way for the kids to keep up an interest in writing and reporting with a new summertime contest.

It is getting very close to 08/08/08, the official opening date for ceremonies for the 2008 Olympics, and we want your Olympic Stories, memories, reflections, ideas, and anything that you think our readers would enjoy. Do you have a special story that you would like to share?

The summer time is a great time for reading and writing. If you have a special story, photo, video clip, or voice clip that you can share with us, we can put it to good use, and perhaps you could win our contest.

The entrants will be judges by well know journalists and sports figures and will get their stories submitted for national publication, be published on the front page of PNN, AND share in great prizes.

Lights On After School has forged an exciting new partnership with two innovative educational organizations: PNN.com and Kid's Talk Radio.

Through simple online story sharing, PNN.com connects children around the world while working with the high motivational after-school program, Kid's Talk Radio.

The first 1,000 programs to start up PNN sites and tell their story about their Lights On After School activities will receive free Mixcraft multi-track recording studio software and creative project lessons that teachers can easily implement in their classrooms.

But, as they say, that's not all. Kids Talk Radio and Personal News Network will select 10 of the best stories and feature them on the home page AND get a free school site license of Lesson Plan Designer. If you're not a teacher we will give everyone in your immediate family a copy of My Fantastic Family software.

These stories will also be promoted to local and mainstream radio and TV stations throughout the world.

Additionally, program participants will have the opportunity to create their own Lights On After School websites using new Mixcraft multi-track recording studio software, which facilitates easy podcasting. This content can easily be posted regularly to be featured on Kids Talk Radio and PNN. Both PNN and Kids Talk Radio are free educational tools and are easy to use.

To Participate, simply Join PNN (button on the right) and set up a site that tells us what happened at your school on at the Lights On Event!
