<i>Color Our World</i>. The contest will run from now until September 30, 2023. We want your ideas that are filled with all the colors! Our very own Managing Editor, Alyssa Graybeal, will choose one program from each category (children, teens, and adults),
and one contributor of early literacy books and songs that best captures the theme. Program ideas submitted with photos (that the submitter owns the copyright to or are proven copyright free) have the highest chances of winning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
