7.1 Preparation
- Select age categories for the contest entries. For example, divide the entries into two categories by grade levels 7 through 9 and 10 through 12. This will allow younger teens to shine without being overshadowed by the older more experienced teens.
- Select genre categories for the awards. For the writing contest, categories might include poetry, short story, or personal narrative. Judges will award first, second, and third prizes, and honorable mention in each category.
- Tell library staff members about the events and ask for their help and support. Speak to staff at meetings and individually to make sure they understand the programs and know about the important dates for each program. Prepare and distribute written instructions for the library staff. Visit example of instructions for staff members for more information.
- Prepare procedures for staff on how to accept submissions from teens. Visit example of procedures for accepting submissions for more information. The instructions ask staff to assign an identifying number to each entry and write the identifying number on the back of each piece of artwork. Visit an example of a form to assist in assigning identifying numbers for more information. The form may be adapted for both the Writing Contest and the Art Show.
- Invite local artists, high school or college teachers, art studio teachers, or members of art guilds to judge the art contest. Visit Judging a Contest for more details and how-to's.
