Salinas Public Library is proud to announce the winners of the 2022 Graphic Novel Contest.

This year we had 73 entries! We had some really excellent entries which combined the elements of art, dialogue, and creativity into each novel. After some tough deliberation, we determined the Top Entries for each of the three categories (1st-4th grade, 5th-8th grade, and 9th-12th grade). Honorable Mentions were also determined since there were so many good entries. This year you can read all the graphic novels from the Top Entries and Honorable Mentions. 

Top Entries and Honorable Mentions received prizes, including drawing books, art supplies, and Funko Pops.

Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you to all the participants!
