event can enter YALSA’s Thinking Big about Advocacy Contest 
<http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/awardsandgrants/AdvocacyContestApp.doc> 
and win up to $500 for their work advocating for their young adult or 
school library program. The Thinking Big about Advocacy Contest is part 
of Kim Patton’s 2010-2011 presidential theme, Think Big.

Applications can be downloaded at www.ala.org/yalsa/awards&grants

    * Focus on advocacy for library services to teens
    * Effectively reach key audiences, such as administrators, elected
      officials or parents
    * Are creative
    * Incorporate youth participation
    * Incorporate key advocacy messages and talking points, such as
      those found at Add It Up <http://www.ala.org/additup>
    * Demonstrate a positive and meaningful impact

This contest is open only to YALSA members. One first place winner will 
receive $500 to use toward their YA program and a certificate of 
achievement. Four runners-up will receive $100 to use toward their YA 
program and a certificate of achievement. The prizes are funded by the
