Art Contest!
Entries due Friday, February 14

 

Unleash your inner artist! Draw your favorite character from any book (including graphic novels) in any style: realistic, manga, digital, comic; whatever you can dream up.

 

Submit your drawings at the Information Desk by Friday, February 14 at 5 p.m. Come to the final party on Saturday, February 15 at 3 p.m. to vote for the best in each category. The winners get kits of art materials.

 

Fine print: One entry per person. Categories are grades 6-8 and 9-12. Your drawing has to have your name, phone number, and grade written on the back or attached somehow. Email digital entries to Cressant. You can still win even if you don't come to the party. And don't worry; you'll get your drawings back. But we do want to scan them and post them to Facebook to show everyone how awesome you are.
