Meet Our 2021 Teen Library Card Design Contest Winners!During the past 50 years, the Library has engaged the public through events ranging from reading challenges to photography contests to the creation of art about climate change. In this tradition, we are pleased to announce the top three winners of our 2021 Teen Library Card Design Contest. Congratulations to first place winner Maggie Bacallao, 19, second place winner Sienna Zaydon, 14, and third place winner Pamela Wong, 14! Maggie received an art supply gift card, a drawing tablet and will have her wining design reproduced as a limited-edition library card that will be available at all library locations. The two runners-up also received art supply gift cards. There were nearly 100 amazing hand-drawn and digital submissions. Many of them came from teens that have competed in other Library contests, including Maggie, who earned second place in the 2020 Teen Library Card Design Contest and was a finalist in the Make a Bookmark Contest in 2014. "Competing in the bookmark contest inspired me to keep trying," said Maggie. Thank you to all the talented teens who participated. |
