Miko Story Magic Challenge Guidelines

 

What’s it all about

Every child is a natural storyteller. Sometimes their ideas are magical, sometimes funny, and often surprisingly deep.
With Miko’s StoryMaker, kids can turn those sparks of imagination into complete stories. And through the Miko Story Magic Challenge, we’re giving them a stage to shine — their words reaching far beyond home and school.

 

Why participate

Because nothing feels more magical for a child than seeing their story recognized. It builds confidence, celebrates their creativity, and creates a memory you’ll cherish for years.
