Cosplaying and candy sushi make a lovely combo.  Always.

Quad-Cities Libraries and the Figge Art Museum are organizing the second annual Teen Anime Fest and Manga Art Show.
 
Young artists, ages 12-18, are invited to submit their original artwork drawn in manga or comic book style. All different mediums (paint, pencil, graphic design, etc.) can be used.
Artists should submit the artwork and entry form to their local library.  Click here for a printable entry form and other Anime Fest details.
 

 Submissions will be accepted Sept. 1st – Oct. 10th, 2009

Entries can also be emailed to scarlin@scottcountylibrary.org.  Only two entries per person will be accepted.  Depending on the number of entries, we may choose to display only one of each person’s works.  For more information contact your local library.

Entries will be on display in the Figge Art Museum during the 2nd Annual Teen Anime Fest on Sunday, October 18th from 12-4.  There will be a $5 admission fee to enter the Fest at the Figge. 

Don’t miss this one of a kind opportunity to have your artwork on display in the Figge Art Museum.  It’ll definitely be something worth telling your grandkids about someday.
