LPLS INVITES STUDENTS LIVING OR ATTENDING SCHOOL IN LORAIN COUNTY TO EXPRESS YOUR CREATIVITY AND SHOWCASE YOUR TALENT IN OUR ANNUAL TONI MORRISON CONTEST!
Lorain County students in kindergarten through college are invited to choose one of two inspiring Toni Morrison quotations and create an original piece of artwork reflecting
its meaning:
“SHE IS A FRIEND OF MY MIND.
SHE GATHER ME, MAN. THE PIECES
I AM, SHE GATHER THEM AND GIVE THEM
BACK TO ME IN ALL THE RIGHT ORDER.”
OR
“YOU ARE YOUR BEST THING.”
Artwork should be drawn horizontally and be either 12 inches by 18 inches or 8.5 inches by 11 inches in size (under/oversized work will not be eligible) and drawn on white posterboard or white drawing paper (no lines). Artwork must be original (no traced, trademarked or copyrighted characters, slogans, etc.).
Submit your artwork beginning Oct. 1 by scanning it as a .jpeg with at least 300 dpi resolution to morrisonposter@lpls.info or drop it off at any LPLS branch. Include your contact information, school name if applicable, and for participants aged 18 and under, provide the name of your teacher, parent or caregiver. The deadline for submission is Nov. 15.
Judging will take place in January and the winning pieces in each age category will have their work framed and displayed in the Toni Morrison Reading Room at the Main Library for one year.
