Library region to host youth comic strip contest as part of Library Card Sign-up Month

Parkland Regional Library is running a comic strip contest throughout the entire region for Library Card Sign-up Month this September.

The contest is for those aged 10 to 18.

Participants can submit their original comic strip from September 4 to 25 for a chance to win a great prize that will help foster further creative projects.

The grand prize is a Wacom Intuos Tablet. Also up for grabs is a set of Copic Markers.

A panel of judges from the community of Lacombe will choose the top five submissions and public voting will take place on Facebook the week of October 5 to 9, 2015.

Entries must follow a four panel layout and use a permanent art style (no pencils). Entries can be submitted to your public library or online.
