FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 14, 2017:  The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) announced the winners of the 2017 Teen Video Challenge.  The Teen Video Challenge is a national competition for teens to get involved with reading and their public library's summer reading program.  Winning videos were selected at the state level to be recognized as an official CSLP Teen Video Challenge winner for 2017.

This video competition ended in its seventh year of encouraging teens to get involved with promoting summer reading and public libraries with a focus on the CSLP 2017 slogan, “Build a Better World.” Each participating state selected one winning video to be named the official CSLP Teen Video Challenge state winner for 2017. Fourteen states and over seventy teens participated in the creation of these winning videos.

The winners were announced the week of April 10, 2017 during the CSLP Annual Meeting held in Charleston, South Carolina.

Official CSLP Teen Video Challenge winners were named from the following states: California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, South Carolina and Washington.

To view this year’s winning videos, please visit CSLP’s website at www.cslpreads.org<http://www.cslpreads.org/>.  The winning videos can be used by all teens and all public libraries to promote summer reading nationwide.

The winning videos illustrate the diversity of our nation and of the teens that create them. Whether produced by an individual teen, groups of teens, a teen library club or a teen school group, all exhibit creativity and illustrate quality work on the part of the industrious teen film makers.  The videos use a variety of references to communicate the “Build a Better World” idea. In addition to promoting reading and the “Build a Better World” slogan, it is clear from all these videos that teens value their public libraries.

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a consortium of states working together to provide a unified summer reading theme along with professional art and evidence-based materials so that member libraries can provide high-quality summer reading programs at the lowest possible cost and to play a significant role in literacy initiatives.
