There will be a first and second place award for those 18 and under, and a first and second place award for those older than 18 years of age, as well as one Honorable Mention for each age group.

Reading is wonderful. It can be engrossing, stimulating, peaceful, fascinating, educational. Participants in this contest have helped show us all what Evanston looks like when it is reading.
