"Scare up a Good Book" iREAD Poster Contest

"Scare up a Good Book" iREAD Poster Contest
The Illinois Library Association and the Illinois Reading Enrichment and Development (iREAD) are sponsoring a Poster Contest to promote teen reading. $1,000 in prize money will be awarded to the statewide winner! All entries will become the property of the Illinois Library Association. Morrison-Talbott Library is accepting posters for this contest.

The contest is open to all middle and high school aged artists. The theme for the poster is "Scare Up a Good Book". The winning poster will be the basis for the Young Adult iREAD Summer Reading Program in 2010.

Posters should include images of books, a library or something related to reading. All art and characters must be original. Artwork should be appropriate for hanging in public libraries. Poster size can be up to 19 inches by 26 inches. Final art can be either computer generated, a drawing, painting or collage using traditional media. If submitting computer art, please be sure that it is either vector art (Adobe Illustrator), or Photoshop file with 300 pixels per inch.

Entry forms to submit posters can be found at Morrison-Talbott Library in the Young Adult area. The deadline for entries is July 25, 2008. The statewide winner will be announced in October, 2008 by the Illinois Library Association.
