World Book Day Competition: Read Your Way!

Thank you for taking part in our World Book Day competition!

We were blown away by the fantastic entries we received for our World Book Day competition! This year’s theme, "Read Your Way," encouraged children to celebrate the joy of reading in their favourite or most unusual spots – and you certainly delivered.

From snuggling up in cosy corners to enjoying the great outdoors (and even hanging upside down!), your photos truly captured the magic of reading. A huge thank you to everyone who took part – we loved seeing your entries!

 

And the winners are...

After much deliberation, we’re excited to announce our three winners, each receiving a £50 book voucher:

 

Most Unique Reading Spot

Best Photo Composition

Happiest Reader Award

Most unique reading spot winner

Reading your way

Congratulations to our winners and thank you again to everyone who took part and helped us celebrate the joy of reading. Here are some more of the amazing photos we received of children and young people reading their way.
