The 5 winners have been named for the 2021 CSLP Teen Video Challenge!</b> <br>
This national contest from the Collaborative Summer Library Program encouraged teens to create 60-second public service type videos that promote reading and library use to other teens, and interpret the CSLP theme of Tails and Tales. These videos show the amount
 of talent, creativity, and thoughtfulness that went into all of this year's submissions. You can see the winning videos here:<br>

They are fun, creative, and inspiring! The winning teens/teen teams each received a $200 cash prize from CSLP.<br>
Libraries are welcome to use any/all of the winning videos to help promote their summer program, reading, and library use in general. A shout out to New York: 4 of the 5 winning videos came from New York!! The fifth winner is out of Florida. Another shout out
 goes to the wonderful judging panel that made very difficult decisions to narrow down so many excellent, creative entries to these 5 winners! And special thanks to Luke Kralik of CSLP, who wrangled forms, updated the website, participated in the judging panel,
 sent out prizes, and more to make this contest happen again. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">2021 will be the last year for this long-running contest. CSLP will be looking for ideas to engage with teens across the country during the summer in fresh new ways (have ideas?
 Please send 'em our way!). Many thanks to all of you that promoted this contest in your state and community! <o:p></o:p></p>
