Bookmark Contest 2025
We want to see what you can imagine! Draw anything that you love and want to share that uses the given space in interesting ways, and maybe brings a smile to someone’s face. There are no required themes. Winning bookmarks will be available at all HCLS branches in the fall.

All children in grades K – 12 who live or attend school (or homeschool) in Howard County may enter.
One winner will be selected in each category (five total) to be printed:

Entry forms are available online or at any of our locations.
Best of luck!
We look forward to seeing the results of your artistry, creativity, and imagination.
Some tips include:
Please don’t trace or use copyrighted images (such as from favorite TV shows, movies, or books) or include computer- or AI-generated art. If you include words, check for correct spelling and legibility. Keep text away from edges. In fact, keep all important design details away from the line around the box.
Consider what medium works best for you. Sparkle crayons, gel pens, and neon colors don’t reproduce well and probably won’t be chosen. Make sure that your design is well defined, not sketchy or pale.
Dear adults: This contest is for students, please don’t “help” with anything other than the form.
