Teen Call for Entries

About This Project

The City Library is seeking creations from local teens. We’ll feature these in a variety of public digital collections, and on our City Library Teens blog. Salt Lake-area teens are encouraged to submit original photos, drawings, music, poetry, short stories, book reviews, and other creative content. You can showcase your work, show off your skills, and be a part of this special city-wide collection. Contributions will be curated into categories by Teen Librarians, and could be featured on the Library's social media. See below for guidance on what to submit and how to be part of this special teens-only project.
