What's on your Shelf
Teen Web Design Art Contest

The Teen Advisory Board is sponsoring a digital art contest to update the Teen Scene section of the library’s webpage. Art submissions will be accepted from teens in grades 6-12 via e-mail from March 1 until March 30 and should reflect the theme, “What’s on your shelf?” All submissions should be accompanied by a submission form and digital artwork should be in .jpg or .png format sized to 1000x142px. We look forward to seeing what’s on your shelf.
