Participants may also have their work included in the Etch Anthology to be sold in June.
Put your artistic talents to good use and design a book cover for our “Judge a Book by its Cover Teen Contest.”The sky’s the limit! Paint, draw, photography, digital arts – you decide!
The winning cover will be featured as the “Etch Anthology” book to be released in June - plus you could win a Downtown Guelph gift certificate. Submit your entry to [email protected] or in person to any library location before 5 p.m. on Saturday, Apr. 8, 2017. Grades 7 to 12.
