The contest was part of a larger PBS KIDS Writers Contest and was open to children who reside in Western New York counties encompassing the broadcast viewing area, such as Erie, Niagara, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Allegany, Wyoming, Genesee, Orleans, as well as Southern Ontario.

The regional competition had students in kindergarten through third grade submit original stories and illustrations nationwide. Both elements were judged based on storytelling, creativity, and originality.

Celine is invited to attend a celebration event in Buffalo honoring all of this year's winners.
