The county said judging will be done by a panel of county commissioner staff. It will take place between June, 17 and June 21.
Judging criteria include:
Were the rules of submission followed?
Does the artwork exemplify the theme, “Adventure Begins at Your Library”?
Is the artwork appropriate for use on a library card based on size, content, and medium?
Artist’s creativity and design of the artwork.
“All first place winners will have their artwork appear on limited edition library cards, available beginning September 1, 2024, while supplies last,” the county said. “All 1st place winners will also be judged with the possibility of becoming the new artwork for our general use library card.”
