Texas Youth Creators Awards

After careful evaluation, the Texas Library Association has made the decision to sunset the Texas Youth Creator Awards program.

This decision follows a comprehensive review of the program’s participation trends, operational sustainability, and alignment with TLA’s mission to support, promote, and empower Texas libraries and library professionals. While the program has celebrated the creativity of Texas students for many years, the Board determined that it is appropriate to redirect volunteer and staff resources toward initiatives that more directly advance TLA’s strategic priorities and member services.

TLA extends its sincere appreciation to the committee members, librarians, educators, students, and families who have participated in and supported the Texas Youth Creator Awards throughout its history. Your creativity, dedication, and service have helped make the program meaningful to communities across Texas.

Recent participants have been notified of this decision. At this time, no future award cycles are planned.
