Whether you’re a budding illustrator, a comic artist in the making, or just love to doodle - this is your chance to shine. The competition is open to everyone, with winners selected from four categories:
- Children under 8 years old
- Young People aged 9–17
- Adults aged 18+
- Warwickshire County Council Staff
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 1st September 2025, with the winners revealed during Green Libraries Week in October. Winners will see their designs printed and distributed in libraries countywide - plus, they’ll receive national book tokens.
Cllr Michael Bannister, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Customer and Localities 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!”
