The Boca Raton Public Library is celebrating Library Card Sign-Up Month with an art competition that will place local creativity in residents’ wallets.
The “Your Library, Your World” contest asks participants to create original artwork that reflects what the library means to them and to the community. The winning design will appear on official library cards beginning Sept. 1.
Entries will be accepted through July 29 and judged in four age groups: children ages 3-10, tweens 11-13, teens 14-17 and adults 18 and older.
Judges will evaluate entries based on creativity, artistic quality, storytelling and how well they reflect the “Your Library, Your World” theme.
Artists will be notified between Aug. 3 and Aug. 5, and results will be announced Aug. 7. Each age-group winner will receive a certificate and recognition on the library's website and social media.
The contest is open to Boca Raton Public Library cardholders. Residents without a library card may sign up before entering. Artwork must be original — AI-generated images will not be accepted — and submitted in person with a completed application.
