Entries now accepted up through February 28! High school students are especially encouraged to enter.
Calling all artists! Avon Free Public Library is holding an art contest to design new library cards. Four winners will be selected, one for each from the following groups:
- elementary school
- middle school
- high school
- adults (age 18 and older)
Each winner will receive a prize of a $50 gift card and runners up will receive $25 gift cards. Winning artwork (to be announced on the Library website after March 1) will be used on new library cards, and Library patrons will then have a choice of any winner for their library card. Download a template of our library card to get started with your design.
Winners will be chosen by a Library committee. Judges will know only the category of the submitter and no other information. Library employees and their family members may not enter the contest.
