Summer at CPL for Teens: Summer Sticker Design Contest

Want to design sticker art that gets shared all across the city? Submit your original art to our annual summer sticker design contest for teens! The winning design will be turned into a sticker and given away as a summer prize at all CPL locations.

This year’s summer program is a celebration of all things Chicago! There are so many things that make our City great, from iconic architecture to the vibrant arts and music scene, and of course the food! Choose what makes Chicago special to you to guide your creative process in designing your sticker. Highlight your neighborhood, a famous Chicago story, or something else that represents our City. Please note: your submission should be original artwork by you, and not AI-generated.

Submit your design by March 22nd, 2026. The winning design will be chosen in early April, and the winner will receive 50 stickers of their design along with a $50 gift card.
