Are you artistic?
Do you love the library?
Are you 13-18 years old?
Oakland Public Library needs your original artwork!
Oakland Public Library is starting off 2014 with a fun contest for teens that allows them to make their mark on the Main Library… permanently! With a grant through Keep Oakland Beautiful, we are going to transform the drab cement trash cans outside of the Main Library on Madison Street into beautiful mosaic murals.
This competition is based entirely on teen input and creation, and is open to anyone between the ages of 13-18, as long as they live or attend school in Oakland. Youth across Oakland are welcome to enter the competition and are also invited to help create the mosaics.
Teens interested in submitting designs can choose from two possible layout options and can submit multiple entries:
Option One: Wraparound Panoramic design for an estimated size of 69″x30″ which would cover the three panels of a trash container
Option Two: Individual Portrait Panel design to cover a 23″x30″ surface
For sample templates and Design Submission Forms: www.oaklandlibrary.org/teendesign or the Main TeenZone, 125 14th Street, 2nd Floor.
All submissions (only paper copies are accepted) must be received in the Main TeenZone by 5:30pm on Feb 14, 2014.
