Creatures of imagination sought for Oshkosh Public Library contest
Sept. 7, 2023 - Leap into the world of the Creature Carnival where creators aged 2 to 18 bring to
life the characters that live in their imaginations.
From Sept. 29 to Oct. 24, kids and teens are invited to submit their original, handmade creations
to the Oshkosh Public Library’s Children’s Department for a chance to win prizes in a variety of
categories and have their creatures placed on display at the library. New this year, HobbyTown
Oshkosh will provide gift certificates to first and second place winners. All participants will
receive a small goody bag with items to take home.
“This contest is an opportunity for children to relax and dream,” said Kallie Schell, children’s
librarian. “As they design their magical creatures, we hope to nurture their creativity and inspire
them to connect in a meaningful way to stories and storytelling.”
The challenge is simple: Design an original creature that springs from your imagination. Whether
it's a monster, a robot, or a magical being, the Creature Carnival highlights the limitless potential
of creativity.
To make participation even easier, the library is hosting two Drop-in & Create sessions on Sept.
22 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Sept. 29 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Children’s
Department. Kids can let their imaginations soar while grownups don’t have to be concerned
about supplies or cleanup.
These sessions are meant to inspire, spark ideas and encourage hands-on creativity, even for
those not submitting contest entries. Attendance at Drop-in & Create is not required to
participate in the contest.
