Through its annual New Author Contest, Cheerios® cereal will make this dream a reality for one aspiring children´s book author. One Grand Prize Winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize and a possible publishing deal with Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing, in addition to having his or her book featured inside Cheerios cereal boxes nationwide!!
Founded on the belief that reading is a key building block for learning and life, the Cheerios New Author Contest encourages ambitious authors to write and submit an original story, in either English or Spanish, suitable for children ages three to eight. The contest, which is an extension of the Spoonfuls of Stories program, is part of the brand´s ongoing commitment to nurturing the whole child and connecting families by fostering a shared love of reading.
