Love stickers for one’s water bottle or laptop? 

Great River Regional Library (GRRL) is excited to invite creative teen artists to participate in the first-ever Teen Sticker Design Contest! 

This contest offers a unique opportunity for teens to have their artwork printed and available to library users across Central Minnesota, spanning GRRL’s 32 library locations! The contest runs from July 14 through August 31, 2025.
