Teen Read Week Art Contest

Calling all artists!

There is a Teen Read Week art contest called It Came From a Book! 

The contest runs through September 30th.  We’re planning to collect a huge online gallery of the entries and announce the winners here on the Library as Incubator Project website during Teen Read Week, October 14th-20th, 2012.  Read on for more info on submitting your library-incubated artwork and the prizes the winner could take home!

Here are the basics:  read any book and create a piece of art inspired by the story.  Your artwork can be any type– photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, manga– we want to see it all!  Submit a digital photograph of your work to trwartcontest2012@gmail.com by 11:59 PM CST September 30th, 2012.
