Burlington Bookmarks Contest is on!
Calling all artists and book lovers, young and old—our annual Burlington Bookmarks Contest is underway! Every year, Burlington Public Library invites local residents to break out the crayons and markers and design a bookmark based on a literary theme.
This year, your challenge is to create a design inspired by your favourite book!
How It Works
Entrants must live, work, or attend school in Burlington. You can pick up a paper submission form at any library branch or download one online. You can create your original hand-drawn artwork using markers, crayons, pencils, pastels, or paint. Your design will be considered as long as it stays inside the bookmark outline.
Submit your bookmark at your local branch or upload it to the library’s website by February 24, 2025, to be considered. Finalists will be chosen in five age categories and their designs will be posted online for public voting from March 5 to 12.
Spread the Love of Reading
What do the winners get? The joy of spreading the love of reading! The five winning bookmarks will be professionally printed and distributed to library branches for customers to enjoy in their next great read.
Follow Along Online
Keep tabs on the contest by checking the library’s website and social media channels (@BurlOnLibrary) for contest updates and voting.
If you want to make sure you get your hands on one of 2025’s winning bookmarks, keep a close eye out! The free bookmarks will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
