There are 2 ways you can enter:

All ages may enter and winners from each age group will be notified by phone call.
The theme for artworks is: “The magic of reading”
Create beautiful art that expresses your understanding of the magic of reading, and if you are one of our lucky winners, your artwork will be printed and available at Mid North Coast Libraries over the next year.
