Submission deadline: Thursday, August 1st, 11:59 p.m.
In celebration of the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Downtown Library and Community Learning Center, the Hayward Public Library (HPL) invites the community to submit designs for a future library card. One winning design in each of the five categories will be printed and made available to HPL patrons in Fall 2024.
Contest Rules & Parameters:
Participants may submit up to three entries each. All submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, August 1, 2024. Entries will be accepted via email at Library.Contest@hayward-ca.gov and in-person at either library branch.
To participate, entrants must have a current Hayward Public Library card and reside, work, or attend school in Hayward. A panel of judges will select three entries from each category to be posted online for public voting. The public will determine one winner from each category.
Winning designs will be printed and made available to HPL patrons in the fall of 2024.
Categories:
