This year, teen artists were asked to design the best bookmark that embodies the theme of Imagination. Whether they were inspired by dreams, fantasy worlds, or their own creative visions, these submissions show how their artistic flair can bring imagination to life.
Over 850 votes were placed across the finalists of this year's Teen Art Contest!
There was an incredible array of artwork on display, showcasing unique perspectives, creativity, and most of all, imagination! From whimsical illustrations to abstract collages, our teen participants made it a tough decision for our community who voted on their favorites.
Thank you to all the artists who participated in this year's contest. Every entry showcased a unique talent and we're so grateful to each artist for sharing their creativity.
And now... our winners!
- 1st Place: "Down the Road" by Hope
- 2nd Place: "Red Grove" by Emma
- 3rd Place: "An Open Book" by Iris
These three winning artists will have their artwork featured through custom bookmarks distributed in all 41 library locations in 2025!
Stay tuned for details on next year's Teen Art Contest! We can't wait to see what you create next. In the meantime, visit our Teen Art Contest page for all of this year's submissions and past winners as well as resources to brush up on your skills ahead of next year.
