Since the inception of television our society has become increasingly more reliant on it with each generation. In this prescient novel, Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury anticipated this trend in which reality programming impacts our daily lives. Fahrenheit 451 is a reaction to a society defendant on television rather than human interaction, literature, or the fine arts. Respond to this theme of social sedation/apathy brought on by the evolution of television by entering the newly revised 25th Annual Ray Bradbury Contest. Categories include responses through writing, visual arts or multimedia. Winners will receive up to $200 in each category for Waukegan residents and $100 for non-residents. Entries will be accepted through March 20, 2009.

Winners: The winning entries will be announced and the entrants presented with awards at the Friends of the Library Annual Dinner, on April 25th, 2009. Winners will be asked to share their work.
