Library Bookmark and Poster Contests

Do you like to draw or paint? Would you like to promote your local public and school library? Then, please participate in one or both of these upcoming contests: County of Los Angeles Public Library Bookmark Contest

  • Our local Manhattan Beach Public Library is currently sponsoring its annual bookmark contest. The theme this year is “Picture the Adventure – Read.”  Contest winners are honored at a ceremony at a Manhattan Beach City Council Meeting, receive a certificate honoring their work, shake hands with the mayor, and get their picture taken. Afterwards, they are celebrated at the library with gift bags of treats, Barnes & Noble gift cards and 50 copies of their bookmark design to share with friends and family. In addition, the Mira Costa Library will make copies of all the bookmarks to distribute at our library. Entries are due to the Manhattan Beach Public Library by October 29. If you would like to submit your entry at the Mira Costa Library, please do so by October 28. Pick up a printed contest form at the Mira Costa Library or the Manhattan Beach Library, or download the Bookmark Contest Entry Form 2011 here.
@YourLibrary Contest
  • Each year, California School Library Association (CSLA) sponsors a student poster contest of posters promoting the importance of school libraries. Your artwork may be displayed on the CSLA website, as well as used on CSLA publications and products promoting school libraries. And, all Mira Costa entries will be featured in our library and on our website. Winners receive up to $100 in prize money. Please consider helping to promote school libraries by designing a 11″ x 17″ or 12” x 18” poster that incorporates the theme of @yourlibrary. For more information, talk to Mrs. Lofton or check  this information and entry form on the CSLA website. Entries are due by November 1.
