Unmask Your Imagination  was created by Athena Summers, and includes performances by Emma Wilson. Congratulations to Athena who will receive a cash prize of $150 and to the Dewitt Community Library who will receive prizes from Upstart and Candlewick.

The Teen Video Challenge is organized and sponsored by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). It is a national competition for teens to get involved with reading and their public library’s summer reading program. This year, teens made videos with a focus on CSLP’s 2015 slogan, “Unmask.”  Winning videos were selected at the state level.
