The Illinois Library Association and Illinois Reading Enrichment and Development (iRead) are sponsoring a poster contest to promote teen reading. The contest is open to all middle and high school aged artists, and should illustrate the theme "Scare up a good book". The poster will be the basis for the YA iRead Summer reading Program in 2010.
The poster should include images of books, a library, or something related to reading. All art and characters MUST be original. We cannot use existing cartoon or comic characters. Artwork should be appropriate for hanging in public libraries.
Poster size can be up to 19 by 26 inches. Final art can be either computer generated or a drawing, painting, or collage using traditional media. If submitting computer art, please be sure that it is either vector art (Adobe Illustrator), or, it is is a Photoshop file, that it is 300 pixels per inch. A completed entry form must accompany all entries. Ask for an entry form at the Youth Services Desk.
All entries are due to TPPL by July 31, 2008, and will become the property of the Illinois Library Association. The statewide winner will be announced in October, 2008, and that winner will receive $1000 in prize money. For more information to to www.ila.org/iread
