Library Card Art Contest

Celebrate creativity and carry local art everywhere you go. 

The Library Card Art Contest invites artists of all ages across Laramie County to submit original artwork for a chance to be featured on official Laramie County Library System cards. 2025 marked the inaugural year of the contest, bringing local creativity to the forefront and placing community-made designs into the hands—and wallets—of library users across the county. 

During the inaugural 2025 contest, artists submitted original designs in four age categories. One winner was selected in each group, and the winning designs now appear on LCLS library cards. 

These cards are available at all LCLS locations—Cheyenne, Burns, Pine Bluffs, and the Mobile Library—and can be chosen anytime when signing up for a new card or replacing an existing one. 

Participants submit artwork in one of four age groups:

• Ages 0–6
• Ages 7–10
• Ages 11–14
• Ages 15 and older

Additional guidelines:

• Only one submission per person.
• Entries must be dropped off at an LCLS location:
  • Cheyenne Library, 2200 Pioneer Ave., Cheyenne, WY 82001
  • Burns Branch Library, 112 Main St., Burns, WY 82053
  • Pine Bluffs Branch Library, 110 E. 2nd St., Pine Bluffs, WY 82082
  • LCLS Bookmobile, various locations
• Each entry must include an official LCLS Library Card Art Design Contest entry form. (Forms for ages 0–14 must be signed by a legal guardian.)
• Acceptable mediums include:
  • Fine art (oils, acrylics, watercolors, drawings, prints)
  • Digital media
  • Photography

Finalist artwork is displayed online for public voting. Voting for the 2025 contest is now closed.

Congratulations to the winners of our inaugural Library Card Art Contest:
