BOOKMARK CONTEST
Children's Book Week 2011

Each year, during Children's Book Week, NOPL sponsors a bookmark contest that invites kids from pre-K through High School to create a black & white bookmark. Hundreds of kids from schools and home schools enter their artwork, and, with difficulty, the judges choose six as winners -- three from the 11 and under age group and three from ages 12-18. The winning designs are printed as "real" bookmarks and distributed to NOPL patrons.

On this page, you can see the winning designs from 2001. In fact, though, we think EVERY bookmark submitted was a winner.
