Competitions
Enjoyed the shortlist? Get your creative juices flowing and enter our competitions!
Our competitions are a fun way for children to get involved with the Book Award.
Children can write a book review, create a piece of art and produce some creative writing inspired by the shortlisted books.
The competition entries are judged by our librarian team and winners will receive a bag of books and a certificate. We also award certificates to highly commended entries.
