Submission Form and Guidelines

• The contest is open to all ages with categories for kids (12 and below), teens (13-17), and adults (18 and older).

• Prizes will be awarded to the top three winners in each age group. The first place winners in each age group will have their artwork featured on bookmarks distributed at all County Library locations.

• Artwork must not exceed an 11" x 17" sheet of paper; no minimum size is required.
