Submit your physical design to the Teen Library Staff desk or send your digital design to the Teen email (teens@portlandpubliclibrary.org) by June 30th.

PPL patrons will vote anonymously for their favorite submissions at the downtown Teen Library space or online from July 1st through August 31st (the online ballot will be available on this page starting in July).
