Subject: Great River Regional Library Invites Artists of All Ages to Create the Next Library Card
Great River Regional Library (GRRL) is excited to invite creative artists of all ages living in the six-county area that GRRL serves to participate in our June Library Card Design Contest! This contest offers a unique opportunity for your design to be printed and available to library users across Central Minnesota, spanning GRRL's 32 library locations! GRRL staff will carefully review all submissions and decide on each age group's winners. The artwork will be judged on creativity, design, and how well it communicates the message "Why do you love your library?" We will notify winners by phone in early July and plan to have the library cards featuring the winning designs available in libraries for September Library Card Sign-Up Month. In addition, we will post winning designs online at griver.org and on social media.
Contest guidelines:
• Anyone living in Benton, Morrison, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd, and Wright Counties may participate.
• The contest runs throughout June. The deadline is June 30, 2024 - late submissions will not be accepted. Only one submission per person.
• There will be three winners: a youth (ages 0-12), teen (ages 13-19), and adult (ages 20+) designed card.
• Submit your design in person at your local GRRL location or sent by mail. For mail, please send to Great River Regional Library, Attn: Library Card Contest, 1300 West St. Germain Street, St. Cloud, MN 56301. Designs may also be submitted digitally by email to communications@grrl.lib.mn.us
