TeenTober Reading Challenge and Contests

Quad City area teens (ages 11-19) are invited to participate in a reading challenge and contests during the month of October. 

For the Teentober Reading Challenge, for every 250 minutes you read, you will be entered into a Moline Library $25 Amazon gift card prize drawing. You will earn a prize for the first 250 minutes you read as well. If you read at least 1000 minutes, you will be entered in the QC Libraries’ grand prize drawing for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card.

Pick up a Teentober reading log at the 2nd Floor Information Desk or print from above. 

For the Teentober Contests, teens can create a video, a performance, a piece of writing, or a piece of art that showcases their creativity and connects to the 2024 theme: "The Elements." Teens can work on their own or in teams of up to 5 members, and can submit only one entry per contest category. A Google account is needed to submit entries through the online form.

• Video Contest | Videos must be under 5 minutes.
• Art Contest | Art entries must be submitted digitally. Let us know if you need help scanning your work.
• Writing Contest | Writing entries must be 1000 words or less.
• Performance | Performance of music, dance or spoken word must be under 5 minutes.

Grand Prize winners will be chosen by the QC Librarians and will receive $50 Visa gift cards. Additional special awards will be given out at the Teentober Red Carpet Awards Event on November 14, 2024 at the Putnam Museum and Science Center.
