Background:
The Design a Stonnington Library Bookmark Competition is an annual design and illustration competition presented by Stonnington Libraries. Held as part of Children’s Book Week, the competition celebrates creativity and storytelling within our community and offers prizes across three age categories: 5 to 8 years, 9 to 12 years and 13 to 17 years. Children living or going to school in Stonnington were invited to use this year's theme: Reading is magic, to inspire their own bookmark design.
The competition attracted more than 80 entries from all over Stonnington, proving the competition’s popularity and enthusiasm among our community’s bright and up and coming artists, painters and illustrators.
The bookmarks will soon be available (free) across our libraries.
Well done to all our competition entrants and congratulations to this year’s winners.
