Bookbuzz competition: design a bookmark
Encourage your students to enter the Bookbuzz competition to design a bookmark and be in with a chance of having their winning design feature in next year’s programme.
Their design can feature characters or scenes from their Bookbuzz book, share reading tips with other students or represent what reading enjoyment means to them. We can’t wait to see what they come up with!
The winner will also win £50 of book tokens; the second and third place runners-up will win £30 of book tokens each; and all three students will win a bundle of books worth over £100 for their school.
Students can create their bookmark either by hand or digitally. Download our blank template (60 mm x 215 mm) below. When printing the template, please ensure that “Actual size” is selected in the print settings.
