Do you like to draw? Are you between 5 – 18 years old? Submit to our Tote Bag Design Contest! One lucky winner will see their drawing printed on our free Summer Reading 2026 tote bags — everyone around town will be rocking your art! This year’s theme is “Unearth a Story” (think dinosaurs, paleontology, archaeology) so feel free to use that in your design.
Guidelines:
- Ages 5 – 18
- Only black and white line drawings (black pen or marker – no pencil, please)
- 8.5 x 11″ size drawings (i.e. a regular sheet of letter-size paper)
- Include your name, age, city/town, and contact on back of drawing or in email
- Library staff will select a design that is suitable for all ages, and can be easily printed on a tote bag
- Submissions are due by Monday, April 13
- Winner will be announced on Monday, May 4
Submit your drawing by email to youth@hudsonarealibrary.org or drop it off at the desk in the library during open hours. Submitted drawings will be on display in the library!
