Art & Writing Inspired by Your Favorite Story or Character

For this year's annual Art & Writing Contest, the Richland Community Library is challenging our artists & writers to create something based on their favorite story or character.

This can be a literal interpretation, like a drawing of your favorite character or a three-dimensional scene from your favorite book, OR an artistic interpretation, like a painting of how your favorite story makes you feel or an original short story starring your favorite character or set in the world of your favorite book.

We want you to get creative!
