Stories have the power to transport us to different worlds, evoke emotions, and ignite our imaginations.
In this art contest for ages 12-18, we invite you to explore the theme of "Your Favorite Story." Whether it's a classic tale, a contemporary novel, a myth, or something else entirely, we want you to capture the essence of your beloved story through your artistic expression. Winners will win gift cards to unleash their creativity at CHPL's MakerSpace.
Submit your artwork online before October 31 for a chance to win! Find full details and learn how to submit your artwork on our Teen Art Contest webpage.
