Runs January 19 to February 23
It's time to get creative! We’re inviting everyone in Burlington to draw a bookmark inspired by a book you love. Winning designs will be professionally printed and distributed in our branches throughout 2026.
Pick up a form at our branches or download the printable entry form. Create an original hand-drawn design, and then scan and submit it below. You can also drop off your entry at any BPL branch. One entry per person.
The online submission form opens at 9am on Monday, January 19 and closes at 9pm on Monday, February 23. All entries—online and hard copy—must be received by February 23, 9pm, to be eligible for judging.
BPL staff will review all the entries and select finalists in each age category:
- 5 years and under
- 6 to 8 years
- 9 to 12 years
- 13 to 17 years
- 18 years and older
The finalists will be posted on our website for online voting from March 4 to 11. We'll be counting on you to pick the best bookmark design for 2026!
