Check your spelling!
You may use the medium of your choice, such as markers, crayons, pens, pencils, pastels, etc… (Note: Gel pens do not copy well)

Digital artwork is allowed, but must be original. NO AI image or art generators may be used.
NO licensed characters may be used (from books, TV, movies, comics, etc).
Use of recognizably licensed artwork will result in disqualification.

The School Librarian must be an active MSLA member and will select one finalist per division to send to the state contest.
Private entries are not eligible.
WINNERS! Winners will be announced at the MSLA Conference in March!
Contest prizes include:
Bookstore gift card ($50 for 1st place, $25 for honorable mention)
Invitation to an in-person Awards Ceremony (details to follow)
Certificate, enlargement, and reproductions (50 for 1st place, 25 for honorable mention) of winning bookmark designs
Bookmarks are due to Ms. Casale a week before the final submission date. This allows for everyone to vote on the three finalists that will be sent into the Massachusetts competition.
Please Read:
Ms. Casale will be hanging up copies of all bookmark submissions in the school, so that we can celebrate how hard everyone has worked!
She will also be happy to laminate bookmarks to be taken home, so everyone can at least take home a fancy copy of their own original bookmark!
