At DC Comics Fan Family, we know all about Superman and Batman. Now we want to know about the real heroes in real kids' lives. We're super psyched about our first-ever contest.

We're challenging kids in grades 3-6 to write about a real person they consider a hero. It could be a teacher, a first responder, a bus driver, a relative ... even you! The top winner will score a VIP trip for six to Burbank, CA, where they'll tour the Warner Bros. Animation Studios and DC Entertainment Offices. They'll also get some awesome prizes to take home. Their real-life hero will get $2,500.00 to donate to the real-life charity of his/her choice. Five other winners will score prize packages too.

Submissions for "Be a Super Hero. Read!" are open from March 1-April 15. Starting May 15, kids across the country will get to vote online for their favorite entry.

We're launching this contest with our friends at Capstone, who bring you so many excellent children's books about DC Comics characters. Find out more and enter the contest at www.CapstoneSuperHero.com.
