We received 700 entries this year to our annual Create a Character Contest, in which we ask your students to come up with an imaginative, compelling character to star in a famous author’s original story. We were impressed, charmed, and tickled by every single entry! The fantastic author Elise Broach chose a character created by Naomi Hauser of Longwood, FL, as the hero of her brand-new story for the May/June 2021 issue of Storyworks. Check out the fabulous finalists and runners-up below!
