Welcome to the Contests Page!
AADL sponsors a variety of contests for kids and teens. Each contest offers participants the opportunity to show off their creativity from writing to graffiti. Our annual contests include...
The Graffiti Art Contest is held annually during the Ann Arbor Art Fairs for grades 6-12. All supplies, including paint and painting surfaces, are provided. Participants work on site within a structured time period. Judging occurs the same day and prizes are awarded in the form of gift certificates. All artwork will be displayed for one month at the Ann Arbor District Library.
The Lego Contest is for ages pre-School through grade 12. Participants build their projects at home and bring them to the library for judging. Prizes are awarded in the form of gift certificates and award ribbons during a large awards ceremony on the evening of the judging.
Our Manga Drawing Contest occurs each summer for grades K-12. Participants create artwork at home and bring it to the Library for judging and display. The contest culminates with an awards ceremony and prizes are awarded in the form of gift certificates.
The "It's All Write!" Short Story Writing Contest will include generous prizes to be distributed among nine winners! The contest is open to students in grades 6-12. Writers submit an original short story to be judged by a panel of published authors. The Awards Ceremony will be held during the Ann Arbor Book Festival in May.
