These are the shortlisted entries from our second annual Children`s Bookmark Design Competition. Voting is now open! 🎨🗳
Our library staff have had the very exciting and also difficult task of narrowing down over 170 total entries to a shortlist for each age category. The hard work, imagination and humour that all of the participants put into their art was inspiring. 🤩
Take a closer look at the top designs on our website and vote for your favourites (link in bio).
Best of luck to our talented artists! 🤞🍀Open post by mooneevalleylibraries with ID 17944344225314317Sep 14
