Digital Photo Scavenger Hunt

Hey there, Teens! Can you come up with
some extremely creative, artistic, or crazy pictures?

The Garden City Library is holding a Digital Photo Scavenger Hunt for the month of August!

To compete, please pick up the Entry Form & Guidelines, or click on this link: Entry Form & Guidelines to print off a copy.

This is a creative scavenger hunt, meaning you don't have to find one specific thing, but a place/thing that fits the description we give you. You can use a digital camera or even a picture phone!

Some of these descriptions include something So Last Year, something Cuddly, something Scary, and something Scenic.
The possibilities are endless and there are no wrong answers!

For example, for cuddly, I could take a picture of the cutest dog in the whole wide world, which is my dog, of course:


...or I could take a picture of the shoe-scraper outside. It's kinda cuddly, right?


This contest is for individuals or groups of up to 4 in grades 6-12. It runs from August 1st through August 22nd.
Completed entries can be submitted through August 19th and will be judged for prizes. Winners will be notified on August 22nd at the Digital Photo Scavenger Hunt Party!
Participants must provide their own cameras. We will not accept any photographs of people.

Come and Learn About the History of Henna Body Art!




Mehndi is the application of henna,a powder derived from a plant commonly found in the Middle East, to the skin to make intricate, beautiful and temporary designs. This ancient art originated in the Middle East, India, and parts of Africa. I will apply the temporary henna "tattoos" to volunteers and explain the cultural significance of this ancient beauty practice. Learn about Mehndi and try it out! I personally will be creating Mehndi designs just for you!

This event will be held on Tuesday, July 7th @ 4 p.m. and Saturday, July 11th @ 1 p.m. Be sure you register online here and fill out a parental consent form!

Hope to see you there
