Design Your Very Own Gift Card

BE IN WITH A CHANCE OF WINNING MONEY TO SPEND ON BOOKS… AND A BOOKSHOP VISIT FOR YOUR CLASS!

National Book Tokens’ annual DESIGN A NATIONAL BOOK TOKEN competition is inviting children of all ages to get creative by designing their own fabulous gift cards! 

The winning entrants will receive HUNDREDS of pounds worth of National Book Tokens for their schools and themselves. PLUS the overall winner will get a £10/€12 National Book Token in their winning design for every child in their class.

This year’s theme is ‘Read Your Way’. Every reader is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy reading. 

To enter, you should design a National Book Tokens gift card with this theme in mind – and think about what might make someone want to buy their gift card. A panel of judges will select a winner and runner-up in each of three age categories: up to 8 years, 9-12 years and 13-16 years.
