The Wichita Public Library is asking for designs from customers for three new library cards that will be introduced next year. A contest is underway through 5 p.m. on Friday, October 27th for people in three age categories to submit designs.
The categories are kids ages 5-12, teens age 13-17, and adults 18 and older. The rules call for one entry per person and the artwork must be in color, original and not published elsewhere, and it should be free of copyright restrictions. Artwork can include computer generated or digital photographs, or paper submissions using colored pencil, pen, paint or markers.
A group from the Library Board will review the entries and choose two finalists in each category. The public will choose the winner in each category on social media platforms. The winners will be announced in January and the cards will go out in February, 2024. Customers who already have library cards can switch to the new cards with a $2.00 replacement fee, and they will get a card with a new number but their accounts will stay the same.
More information and entry forms can be found on the web site wichitalibrary.org/carddesign
