Youth Awards in Literature 2010 – entry form

Introductions

Hi! I’m Alycia, the new Youth Librarian here at Mosman Library!

I’m fresh to public libraries and super-enthusiastic about making Mosman Library an even greater place for young people to visit.

I’m hoping to have lots of great activities and workshops starting up and we’ll be bringing back the Wired 4 Teens book group. I’ve got a few pretty cool ideas for the school holidays and we’ll be doing the gaming nights where we rock out with Rock Band in the Teen Zone.

I’m curious, though. What do you want to see happen in your library? What activities would you come to, and what kinds of workshops do you think are important? Be brave and introduce yourself in the comments and tell me what you want your Teen Zone to be.

Will we have books? A library?

Help us imagine a library of the future

Mosman Youth Awards in Literature

Entries are now open for the Mosman Youth Awards in Literature, an annual competition that gives YOU a chance to show off your creative writing skills. The competition is open to both primary and secondary students.

Up for grabs is a total prize pool of $2,000, with cash prizes ranging from $50 to $350. Cool, huh?! Imagine what you could do with that!

We received over 600 entries last year from not only Mosman but all around NSW and the judges were really impressed with the high standard of work.

Entries close on Monday 31 May and the winners will be announced in August at a special ceremony in the Mosman Youth Centre.
