Both runners-up and grand prize winners received prizes. The top two winners in each category for tweens and teens did a reading of their entries for their families and friends.

Each tween and teen who participated were given a certificate of participation. Over 50 people attended a reception on Thursday, May 4, at the library to announce the winners. Library staff, The Peters Township Library Foundation members, and celebrity judges reviewed all the entries based on three criteria: creativity, technique, and theme. The tween entries took a more general approach of being mythology-inspired or featuring a mythic creature. The teen entries were all retellings of classic Greek and Norse mythology, all with strong female characters. May offered a workshop in March to help participants prepare for the contest. Library staff member Elizabeth May coordinated the contest, entered by ten tweens and three teens. The contest’s theme was “mythic fiction,” in conjunction with the library’s NEA Big Read Grant featuring the novel Circe by Madeline Miller. Throughout April, the Youth Services Department accepted submissions for a unique writing contest for tweens and teens.
