On August 11, the Chester County Library System held its 1st Annual CCLS Teen Photo Contest Reception. Sixty unique pieces of artwork submitted by teens in Chester County during July were displayed during this open house event. Teens in grades 6-12 were encouraged to submit digital artwork fulfilling the theme Picture Your Adventure in two categories, Traditional Photo and Anything Goes.
Entries poured in throughout Chester County – from Oxford to Honey Brook to West Chester to Berwyn with 20 municipalities, 15 libraries, and 27 schools represented. The creative teen artwork was viewed by about 80 people during the reception and you now have a chance to view the slideshow on the Chester County Library YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKBRXwF8Yas.
