The Annual MSU Student Book Collection Competition
offers students an opportunity to share their enthusiasm for books and their
personal interests with others. All topics and genres are welcome. Participants
submit a short essay describing the focus and contents of their collection, and
an annotated bibliography of its contents or a selection of 50 titles from
larger collections. The next competition will
happen in Spring 2010. For information on entering
this year's competition, go to the entry
form. Finalists display their collections in the Main Library for final
judging, followed by a reception, which will
be held on Tuesday, April 6th 2010 at 3:30pm in the Main Library Lobby. The
first place collection will be
awarded a $500 prize, and the second place collection will
be awarded $250. All other finalists will
receive a $100 award.
