Since announcing the finalists in our annual Teen Art Contest, opens a new window, we received nearly 2,500 votes — and the results are in.
This year’s theme, “Local History,” tasked teens to create bookmarks inspired by Cincinnati and Hamilton County's rich history, from our famous inhabitants to rich architecture to professional sports teams. The three Teen Art Contest winners will have their bookmark designs printed and distributed to all Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library branches.
See the winners below.
"The Wonder of the Past," by Harper, age 14
"View from the Library," by Leo, age 14
"Home," by Linda, age 17
