Design a Bookmark and win a $50 gift card

Fraser Coast residents - unleash your artistic talent and design a bookmark.

The Fraser Coast Libraries has launched its annual Design-a-bookmark competition.

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said the competition was open to all ages and $50 Fraser coast gift cards were up for grabs for five winners.

“The winning entries will be professionally printed and available for free at Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Tiaro, Howard and Burrum Heads library branches,” he said.

“It’s a brilliant opportunity to have your original artwork published in bookmark form and to win a $50 Fraser Coast gift card.

“There’s no theme so entrants can create whatever type of artwork they prefer but they must be library members.

“Joining Fraser Coast Libraries is free and it’s free to enter the bookmark competition.”

The contest is divided into four age categories: Six years and under, seven to 11, 12 to 17, and 18 years and older.

“Winners will be judged on originality, design and reproducibility,” Cr Seymour said.

“Along with the four age category winners, an extra wild card winner will be chosen from all entries.

“Visit your nearest library branch for an entry form or find it online by visiting the libraries Facebook page or on Council’s website at www.frasercoast.qld.gov.au/design-bookmark

“Everyone has until Saturday, March 18, to submit their entries at their nearest branch.”

Cr Seymour said the winners would be announced in April.
