The contest is open to all ages and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes will be awarded in Adult, Teen, and Youth categories. Prizes include hundreds of dollars in gift certificates to Thing-a-Majig, Sheetz and the Chamber, along with prize baskets containing local crafts, books, and lots of other goodies.

Participants will use the library’s discarded Card Catalog cards to create any type of art they like, this includes, but is not limited to, painting on the cards, using them for collages, paper folding, macramé, or anything else participants decide to come up with. The only requirement is that the cards are the primary medium for the art.

Those interested in participating can pick up a bag with a stack of Library Catalog Cards along with a submission form (inside the bag of cards) at the library and use them as a medium to create art of any type. Juvenile entries must have form signed by a parent. You can also download the entry form by clicking here.

There is no limit to the number of cards participants can use, and there are no restrictions on what can be done with the cards, however, lewd or racist imagery will not be considered. Individuals may submit as many entries as desired.

Entries received after Wednesday, June 30, 2021 will not be eligible for prizes, but may still be displayed by library. Art submitted without entry form below will not be considered.

All entries must be the entrant’s original work.

Artwork will not be returned. By submitting, you are giving the Library permission to sell and redistribute your artwork as desired. Artist credit will always be given.

The library will be posting ideas for card crafts throughout the length of the contest on social media.
