The Beaufort County Library System has announced its 5th annual Bookmark Contest for the 2024 Summer Reading Program. The contest runs from March 1 to March 30.
All Beaufort County residents are encouraged to participate. This year’s theme is Adventure Begins at Your Library!
A winning design will be selected from each of the following age groups:
• Ages 5-8;
• Ages 9-12;
• Ages 13-17; and
• Ages 18+.
The four winning designs will be featured on bookmarks distributed at the library during the summer.
Participants create their artwork directly on the Bookmark Contest template and then return it to any Beaufort County Library location. Templates are available at the library or printed from the beaufortcountylibrary.org/bookmark contest webpage. Beaufort County School District students can return their completed templates to their teacher.
Designs must be submitted by Saturday, March 30, 2024. Winners will be announced in early May. Only one design may be submitted per person. Artwork and artist’s name, age, and school will be shared via the library’s social media and digital communications.
