Official MSLA Contest Website

Contest Timeline 

• January 31: All Pollard entries due by the end of the day. 

  • Pollard judges will select a winner.  

  • The Pollard winner's bookmark will be sent to the state level.

• Online voting will take place in March.  Once the date is known, it will be posted here and announced.  

Tips 

• Start early! Sketch and draft a few ideas before settling on your final idea.  

• Judges will consider both artistic merit and depiction of the contest theme. 

• The theme "My Library Gives Me Superpowers" is very important!  Celebrate your school library program by designing a bookmark showing activities, lessons, resources, and/or experiences your school library and librarian provide that give you and other students “superpowers.”  Here are some questions to help you think about the theme: What are some “superpowers” that students might develop as a result of being in a library and/or reading books? How do libraries/books help students to grow and learn?  What are some special skills or knowledge that you have gained from libraries/books? In what ways do libraries/books make you feel strong, smart, and/or powerful?  What are some of your favorite experiences or activies in the library?

• Look at Division IV (grades 7-12) past winners to get inspired.  2022.     2020     2019

• Use markers, crayons, pens, pencils, pastels (note: gel pens do not copy well)
