Teen Graphic Novel Contest: There’s Still Time!


Teens, there's still time to enter the Teen Graphic Novel Contest. Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity!

Entries are accepted through August 31 at kdl.org/teengraphicnovel.  Teens ages 11-17 at the time of submission residing in or attending school in Kent County are encouraged to enter. 

Not only will teens be able to share their artwork and stories, but there are also some great prizes up for grabs. The first-place winner will receive a $100 Meijer gift card, and four runners-up will receive a $50 Meijer gift card. In addition, the top 10 graphic novels will be published in an anthology. Winners will get a copy of the anthology and copies will also be added to the library's collection.

The first round of judging will be by library staff from the Graphic Novel project group. The team will narrow down entries to the top 50, which will be passed along to the judges - Mike Salisbury, Kenny Porter and Vince Locke. Winners will be announced in mid-October and celebrated at an Award Ceremony in November.
