It’s not yet too late for young artists, creatives, and designers alike, as the Hawkesbury Library Service is still accepting entries for its Library Bookmark Design Competition only until 5:00 PM, Friday, 27 September 2024.
The competition is open to children K-6 who are Hawkesbury locals or attend a school in Hawkesbury and is limited to one submission per person. The categories are Kindergarten to Year 2, Years 3 to 4, and Years 5 to 6.
“The Joy of Books and Reading” is the theme of the art competition, promoting reading and design, and aims to highlight the Library’s Junior Fiction Collection. The entries will be judged on creativity, originality, and printability. A winner and runner-up will be chosen from each of the three categories.
Winners in each category will receive a prize.
According to the Hawkesbury Library, the winning entries will see their artworks professionally printed into bookmarks and launched during the Summer Reading Club (running from 1 December 2024 to 31 January 2025).
