Cash for Creativity

Is the world ready for what you have to say? The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers just might think so...and they'd be willing to put their money where your mouth is.

The 2012 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition is now open. Since 1923, The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers has brought "teenagers with exceptional artistic and literary talent...to a national audience." They're also the largest source of scholarships for teenagers of the creative persuasion in the United States.

And it's not just about poetry or essays. The award categories include such written works as dramatic script, science fiction/fantasy, novel writing (Hello, NANOWRIMO!), journalism and more. They ALSO want your artwork, be it sculpture, jewelry, video game, photography, fashion design...the list goes on and on.

In a nutshell, if you're at all creative and in grades 7-12, this is the program for you. "Deadlines for submitting work vary by region and generally range from December 15, 2011 through January 15, 2012." So get on it, get creative, and let the world know what you have to say.

"art happens" at WPPL!

I was so happy to hear that the walls of our Community Room on the first floor of the library will be dedicated to teen art in the month of October! What does this mean for you? If you're age 12-18, of the arty persuasion, or even think you might want to try it for the first time, go ahead and submit your work!

You can submit up to two pieces, but they must be mountable on a wall. Please also bear in mind that people of all ages visit the library, so keep your submissions appropriate for public viewing.

Each piece must be accompanied by an entry form, which you can find below in the "Happenings" section of this page, and must be submitted to the Youth Services department of the Winter Park Public Library by MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2007.

The show is juried, and, if selected, artists will be notified. Art will be displayed October 1-31. Prizes will be given to the best pieces in the show.

Have questions? Give me a call at the library--407-623-3300 ext. 4. Ask for Lisa.

Good luck, and I'll see you at the Library!
