It is time again for the Young Author Contest.  Any student in any school in Scott County is eligible to enter the contest.  The contest is open to 1^st through 12^th grade.  It begins on February 1^st of the current year and manuscripts must be turned in to the Library by April 30^th at 8:00 pm.  Winners will be announced on May 5^th with a reception on August 19, 2012.

Two new divisions will be added beginning this year for grades 7-12; Children’s Picture Book and Graphic Novel.  Students in grades 7-12 may participate in each of these categories or in addition to the fiction story category.  A children’s picture book is formatted in 32 pages including the title page with illustrations.  The Graphic Novel category is similar to a comic book story.

A list of rules is posted at the Library or click on a link below.   You may also call the Library at 872-5341 if you have questions.  Thanks for your participation!
