The downtown Klamath County Library is holding a love song lyrics contest for teens in February!
Whether it’s a catchy ditty or a swooning ballad, we want you to woo us with your song! The winning writer will take home a $20 gift card to a local music shop, and their work will be featured on the library’s website and Facebook page.
Entries are due by midnight on Monday, February 28th, emailed to smiller@klamathlibrary.org. Please use “Love Song Lyrics Contest” as the subject line of your email, and include your name, age, and a phone number where you can be reached. Please include your poem in the body of the email itself and not as a file attachment. (Attachments will not be opened.)
The rules and fine print:
- Participants must be 12 – 18 years old to enter.
- Limit 1 song per person.
- Entries must be received by midnight on Monday, February 28th. Winners will be announced in the first week of March via email, on the Teen Contest webpage at klamathlibrary.org/teencontests and on the library’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/KlamathCountyLibrary.
- Submissions have a 2,000 word maximum, and the song must have a title.
- Include your song in the body of the email itself. Email attachments like Word files will not be opened.
- No photos or illustrations attached to the work, please.
- Your submitted song must be your original work, and not previously published anywhere else.
- Judges reserve the right to disqualify any work deemed inappropriate or that possess culturally inaccurate and/or negatively stereotypical depictions.
