Coeur d’Con ’18 Gearing Up for Aug. 18 Event

There is still time to get involved with Coeur d’Con 2018, the library’s celebration of all things geek, coming Aug. 18.
Entries for the Coeur d’Con Fan Art Contest can be submitted through July 31.
Entries in the contest, open to all ages, will be exhibited at the library beginning Aug. 5.
Artists can select a graphic novel, movie, book, or video game and create a piece of fan art or submit their own original art. Up to three entries per person can be submitted.
The art will be judged by the public during the two-week exhibition prior to Coeur d’Con.
Entry forms and rules are available at the library, 702 E. Front Ave., or can be downloaded at www.coeurdcon.weebly.com. An entry form must accompany each entry.
Entries can be made from any medium, may be 3D or 2D, and should depict images that are appropriate for a public library setting.
In addition to art, the convention will include discussion panels, fan meetups, and other activities.
And, of course, there will be cosplay.
To participate in the cosplay contest, check in at the registration desk and obtain a number to schedule a photo. Photos will then be posted on the wall outside the Community Room for the public to vote on. The top 10 participants in each category will then be judged for the final winners. Categories are Professional (self-proclaimed); Youth, ages newborn to 12; Teen, ages 13-18; and Adult, 18+.
