GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The Kent District Library is accepting submissions for their first ever Coast Art Contest.
“It’s great to see what people can come up with when they’re tasked with a creative challenge,” said Josh Mosey, KDL’s digital marketing strategist and the creator of the Coaster Art Contest.
In a collaborative effort between the library and their KDaLe brewery partners, winning designs will be featured on 2,500 coasters distributed throughout those breweries associated with the library.
“When I think about it — and maybe it’s just because I’m in the library scene — I think about beer, beauty and books,” says Mosey.
The submission stage of the contest lasts through Aug. 8. Mosey told News 8 the five best pieces will be selected by an in-house panel and the winning art will be printed on coasters and distributed to breweries. Sept. 1 is when we can expect to see the coasters hit the tables.

Mosey says they chose September because it’s library card sign-up month and they can sign up right from the coaster.
“It’s an opportunity to get our stuff into breweries,” says Mosey. “People can sign-up for library cards right from where they are sitting.”
The contest is available for those ages 18 and up.
