Fall 2026 Contest: Design Our Library Card!

All ages are invited to participate in our system-wide Design Our Libary Card Contest!

Entries may be hand-drawn by using the template below or created digitally. Artwork can be scanned and emailed to contests@portagelibrary.org OR submitted to a PCDL Branch. Submissions will be accepted October 1 - October 31. The library card size is approximiately 3.5 x 2 inches.

Online voting will take place November 1–21 at www.portagelibrary.org/design. We’ll select three winners in each category: one adult (18+), one teen (13-17), and one children’s card (12 and under).

Please note: AI-generated artwork will not be accepted. Library cards will be available at all library branches January 2027!

By submitting your art, you are giving permission to Portage County District Library to display, photograph and promote it. You may only participate at one location. Participants who submit their art for the exhibit will be entered into win by voting from patrons. Whichever design has the most votes will win.
