Warwickshire residents invited to enter Bookmark Design Competition

BOOK-loving artists across Warwickshire are being invited to make their mark.

A Bookmark Design Competition is returning for a second year, run by Warwickshire Libraries, and is calling for residents of all ages to get creative and have their artwork professionally printed and distributed across all of the county’s libraries.

Winners will be selected from four categories – children under eight years-old, young people aged nine to 17, and adults aged 18+.

Designs can be drawn by hand or created digitally, and bookmark templates are available from any Warwickshire County Council managed library or can be downloaded online.

Entries must be submitted by midnight on Monday September 1 with the winners revealed during Green Libraries Week in October. Winners will see their designs printed and distributed in libraries countywide. They will also receive national book tokens.

WCC’s customer spokesperson Coun Michael Bannister said: “This is a brilliant opportunity for people of all ages to unleash their imagination and celebrate reading through art. Whether you’re into fantasy, graphic novels, or just love your local library, your design could inspire thousands of readers across Warwickshire. Get designing – we can’t wait to see what you create.”
